Mine has to be Sir Arthur William Currie, "Canada's best Soldier". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Currie. In a documentary about Vimy Ridge I was watching, The British Monarch & Prime Minister in WWI said that "If the War lasted another year, he would have been promoted to "Commanding Officer of all Allied forces"". He mastered the "Creeping Barrage tactic. He was not loved by his men, but his men respected them. He was also not afraid of his commanding British officers, because in the battle of Paschendale, he was quoted saying to Sir Douglas Haig:

Give me those [censored]ing artillery Guns, or don't expect the Canadian Corps to attack the City.

He was also good a predicting casualties, because in the battle of Paschendale, he said the 16,525 Canadians would be killed or wounded; 16,528 were killed or wounded. For all theses reasons, he is My Favorite General.

[Django (sunfalcon)]

George Patton.  Or Eisenhower.

[Dr. Doozer]

In real life, General Sherman.

In videogames, General Pepper.

[aceofhicks]

In real life, General Sherman.

He burnt down half of Georgia, right?

[Dr. Doozer]

Leader of the Sherman's March, swathed the Confederacy in a path of flame, yes.

[Sergeant Lyeman]

George Washington anybody? I like it when America actually stood for something and were actually doing the right thing

[aceofhicks]

He was a good man. But: Did Washington Say the F-Word in front of his Commanding Officer or project an artillery cover manover?

[Peace Trooper]

General George Washington

[Mr. Recluse, the Beta Tester(Greiv55)]

Real-Life: Either General George S. Patton or Field Marshall Erwin Rommel(A high-ranking Nazi officer forced into Suicide by Gestapo because of an assassination attempt on Hitler that he was no part of)

Books: General Ben Raines

[Sergeant Lyeman]

dang it I change mine to Rommel, I forgot all about him and he was a genius

[Dr. Doozer]

Yeah, change mine to Rommel as well. "The Desert Fox" was a genius.

[Mr. Recluse, the Beta Tester(Greiv55)]

That is why i like him and Patton both were geniuses and both were braver than most generals as they chose to be among their troops rather than commanding behind the lines.

Rommel also shows me only one good use of Landmines... which forced Allied forces to have to clear large sections of land in order to move their armor across the Minefield at El Alemein.  This is why I believe Landmines are a Coward's weapon(when planted blindly) and a brilliant Tactician's weapon.(when planted with tactics in mind- Rommel putting it up to force enemy troops down specific corridors)

[General Morrell]

well, i can't seem to think of a real life commander that i really like above all of them, but as for fictional it would have to be:

General Irving Morrell, from Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory Series

He was pretty much the person who wrote the book on tank tactics and is one of the few Generals who enjoys being at the front lines and not behind some desk

[Jedi Luigi]

Field Marshall Erwin Rommel in real life.

General Veers in fiction.

[Sergeant Lyeman]

Field Marshall Erwin Rommel in real life.

General Veers is fiction.

well spoken, those would defenitley be my two
