 Clovis and Charlemagne we don't know much about there campaigns and in detail. So I can't comment on them. Joan of Arc is more about morale and inspiration rather than strategy and tactical warfare. Napoleon was clearly overrated, he inherited the republican armies victorious during the Revolutionary wars as well as it's Marechals and generals. All the tactics he used remind of battles like Tourcoing, it's like he was copying Moreau/Dumouriez and Turenne at the same time. I think he was competent but the merits went to the Marechals mainly. I'm pretty sure the like of Robespierre and Carnot would have done a better job than him if the republic was stable. Robespierre might have been a  tyrant at one time but he was a winner overhall not winner of just a battle but wars. I say Napoleon is deficient in strategy although he is highly tactical. Only Turenne rose above all in France arguably second to Ghenghis Khan perhaps, he pioneered the war of movements and he defeated  German by simply starving them in a war of movement. No wonder Napoleon listed him as one of the greatest.

I certainly prefer Dumoriez to Napoleon, he didt usurp power and ruin a revolution.

Jebe (real name Zurgadai) of the Besud tribe, probably Subedei's teacher, did the most hard work in campaigns in China and also in the west.

Well, different spellings are due to different pronounciation, not inaccuracy. For instance, in Swedish, it's spellt 'Djingis' - the pronounciation of that is much closer to the original than if we would begin to spell it 'Chinggis' (which would sound like 'Sheen-giss'). As far as I'm concerned, it's better to duplicate the pronouciation rather than the national spelling.

I know how to pronounce it in Chinese, spell it in english, and that's it.

 

Someone put George Washington? I'm pretty sure he lost every battle he lead.

Strong guy though, said to have been able to crack walnuts in one hand. Also Diest, so the story of him praying before battle is just a story.

he didnt loose every battle he had, ever heard of Trenton, or more importantly Yorktown?  His genious is that he denied kingdhip, and refused to capitalize on his power, helping the revolutionary government form.
