That was a fun contest 😜
Certainly was, even if I if did rather sneakily get in with Alexander first! (not that it gave any edge... ::) ;)) :)

We should do another, maybe obscure generals who had the credit stolen from them e.g. von Hoffman/von Francois vs von Hindenburg at Tannenburg 1914? Another idea that appeals to me are the most overrated generals, and the world's worst generals. I wonder how Elphy Bey (1st Afghan War 1842) would compare to Guy de Lusignan/Gerard de Ridefort (Springs of Cresson, Horns of Hattin), or Comrade Stalin in June 1941?

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

I like the overrated generals idea. Lots to choose from there.

y'all don't need us to set this up and run it.  Create a thread in the Military History forum and go with it.

We could collect some cheap Humble bundle Steam keys and give them out after the sales end so it will seem more prize-y.
