Now you fill in the gaps, using Round 1 as your starting point, you post what you think would be the results of this tournment using my set out!

+rep for the best ones that can explain why you think they would win and lose!

King Juan Carlos demands he be invited. He shall crush you with his Horde of Spanish militia!

Angela Merkel demands being invited!

Why wont we take it one step further? invent a time machine and let Napoleon, Wellington and all the others fight their own battles, but total war style

There's only one "r" in Barack.

"The Chinese President", thanks for being totally ignorant. You could have just typed that into google and find out the name.

Chinese President is Hu Jintao, Russian is Medvedev and Italian is Napolitano.

And why is Britain reprsented twice?

Yes, but there's two in "Barrack"

Personally, most modern leaders are unimaginative politicians who know little of history (President Obama's comment about the U.S. 'liberating' Poland in WWII just to name one) and would thus be a boring match up. I'd advocate taking Generals of all times and having them fight in the Napoleonic age, the lapse between swords and guns. Caesar vs Grant? Napoleon vs Frederick the Great? Lee vs Hannibal? Manstein vs Marlborough?

But the question is, what sort of weapons would they use? Would they bring weapons from their own time period?

Probably not, otherwise the battle between Hannibal and Schwartzkopf would end very quickly.

It isn't represented twice. The commonwealth is represented, as are two of its subjects.

The Russian president would win if Kasparov had been elected. =P

Australian Prime minister.

I for one know that Gordon Brown knows quite a bit about History, ofcourse he may have some sort of strategic edge over quite a few others.

No, Gordon Brown is the prime minister of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth II is the queen of the British Commonwealth (and thus queen of the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand et alii). Great Britain is not a state.

So then they are represented twice. Prime Minister of UK and Queen of the Commonwealth which the UK is in.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NATIONS, ITS JUST FAMOUS WORLD LEADERS, not who they represent! THEY COULD ALL BE BRITISH FOR ALL I CARE, AND BUGGER ME IF I COULD REMEMBER THE CHINESE PRESIDENTS NAME! Relax, its just some fun, I could only picked six to keep it simple, if I did it fully on my opinion, it would only be Britain, USA and Australia, bugger China! so your even lucky the Chinese Pres is in it, so stop winging everyone! Its JUST FOR FUN!
