Given those criteria, I'd say Sun Tzu.
I would have to second that motion.Originally Posted by HumnHilghtFreel
Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, though he was on the wrong side.
What about Napoleon, at least for the 2nd question?
(1) Gen. George Patton

(2) Gen. Dwight Eisenhower
> Leader of perhaps the most important invasion in our country's history. Not only our country, but the entire continent of Europe.
1. Ghengis Khan
2. Charlemagne (sp?)
I'll second the nomination of Eisenhower for #2.
It is nearly impossible to imagine the magnitude of the invasion of Europe and skill it took to keep the Allied forces pointed in the same direction. And speaking of, although he's been severly discredited in recent years, I highly recommend Ambrose's biography of Eisenhower. I think it's probably his best work.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
#2: It is hard to grasp just how big an influence General W.T. Sherman had on modern warfare. His early advocacy of total war (and his tremendous success with its tactics) foreshadowed things to come.
Ghengis Khan for his oganizational and personnel skills.
Jebe for sheer military brilliance.
Alexander
MacArthur before politics sapped his effectivness.
Alexander the Great as he formed the first true combined arms army. General Rommel's tactics from his book Infantry Attack! are used heavily in training modern armies.2) Had the most impact both millitarilly and historically?

yes, this really is how we make our living.
General Chamberlain, a personal hero of mine, tends to fly under the radar.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
Alexander was called "Great" for a good reason. He meets both criteria.
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
1) Stonewall Jackson
2) Heinz Wilhelm Guderian (From wiki) was a military theorist and innovative General of the German Army during the Second World War. Germany's panzer forces were raised and fought according to his works, best-known among them Achtung - Panzer!
Guderian pretty much owned on the invasion of France.
