Woelf: General Protection Fault
pricero1: Electric
Felimid: Guderian or Rommel ... Rommel or Guderian ... choices, choices. Both!
mrwnorris: Patton
MisterCranky: General Mayonnaise of the Condiment Commandos.
tankexmortis: Gosh, Dodd, I'm blushing.
Amuk: Alexander
richard schwab: Gaius Julius Caesar pronounced Kay ser.
Harkonnen13: That is a tough questin. Modern times: Patton. Ancient times: toss up, Alexander or Hannibal.
brad_c_1966: Nathan Bedford Forrest
vandemonium: General Winter. Wicked!
gmcash: napoleon before he went crazy
amphitrite: either Miltiades or Leonidas
klanpaul: Scipio Africanis
kapnkrunch: The General Lee (as in the Duke Boys' car)
POvidiusNaso: Alexander the Great, though I have no idea how he did what he did.
Onionking: Temuchin (Genghis) Khan
DHEK: I don't know. I'm not a military or history buff so I can't really say...
vampywife: I think a lot of them had good qualities, so perhaps if we could take the best from each we could create the greatest one in history ;)
aleo09: i thought i answered this already -- Patton
Frodd: Liddell Hart... though not a General.. o.O
Beyak: Alexander
diehard4life: Patton
Greedo: General Veers. He was the only Imperial who had a successful attack against the Empire when he took Hoth.
Nekura: General Electric
tranzducer: Stormin' Norman
Skycaptain: Bernard Law Montgomery
bigbadsteve: general kenobi
Royalflush: Lee
jcarvin: Washington
mrspank: I'll go with Alexander the Great.
scriptorum: I don't have an opinion on this matter.
misanthrope: Colonel Sanders
MaksimSmelchak: I think I'll say Moyshe Dayan of Israel... just to be different. Eye patches are cool... for pirates... and, apparently Israeli generals!
BeeCeeJay: Robert E. Lee... made the most of a bad situation and nearly won, even while outnumbered, outgunned, and outsupplied.
brainrob: Scipio Africanus
Helenoftroy: not sure, Patton I guess
ralpheous: general apathy
ZombyDawg: I'd love to argue this for hours. As far as a W/L record goes and considering the disparity of numbers involved in battles I'd have to say Alexander the Great. Of course, Scipio Africanus never lost a battle (and he beat Hannibal).
SteveK2: General Anaesthetic
chillrunr: general motors
skrutsch: not Sterling Price.
puffinge: mills
Loquutus: Alexander, although I am not a military history buff.

noon: General Failure. (and why is he reading my C: drive?)
CortexBomb: Nap?
heli: G.W. Bush, a General screwup
chaddyboy_2000: General Mills.

Spielfreak: General Mills?
CDRodeffer: Ghengis Khan
jttm: Wars not make one great.
skelebone: General Information.
