Pretty good list, but I don't know that I agree with putting old Boney at the top. WATM's "analytical statistics" may bear that out... but intuitively, I think some key competition was left off the list... like Ntshingwayo kaMahole and Mavumengwana kaMdlela Ntuli (Zulu commanders at Isandlwana), Sitting Bull, and Chief Joseph. Also, Napoleon, Ceasar, and any other military "dictators" need to be judged in a separate scale-one that allows for their ability to make policy, as well as act upon it. I dare say "Little Mac" McClellan would've had a different reputation if he could've executed his campaigns without pressure from above. Besides-Patton didn't even make the list, and I think he should definitely have made the list.
