You can't call it an Heritage, Bot Gustavus And Alexander changed the world.

Suvorov didn't do that on a large scale.

Read this, It's written by the Great Spartan JKM

I hope that i dont mind me, ill be intruder here. But i would like to say that, if u are talking about great generals, its not important to discuss the political impact of their victories, but to separately observe it from a pure strategical aspect. So , ill agree with my montenegrian brother , that Suvorov was indeed great General and leader.

i think akexander the great has to be the greatest ever. as he conquered lots of the known world in a very short life time.

i also think that hannibal is a great and genius general. but i hate his guts as he almost finished off my beloved roman empire. Scipio africanus ftw.

I must say Alexander the great WAS a great. General.
but Suvorov...:hmmm: I am not sure. he was definately good, maybe amongst the 100 best military commanders ever, but yet not the greatest.

[Ali G]

I agree with Orko, also I have to say that both of them are good but Alexander is in class of his own.
And i get the point about Suleiman the Magnificent.

[Orko]

they did fight some great battles, but their abilities are to be judged by other things as well. what other qualities they two had????

we are talking aabout the greatest general. not person.

[Ali G]

greatest general, i understand.
thats my point, as a generals what other things they had in their favor?????

[Orko]

greatest general, i understand.

natural tactical ability. what did Suleiman had(PLEASE don't say a large empire!)?
