Was he the greatest general ever?

Was he the greatest general ever?

wrong board but I will say no
go to for more discussion

Yes actually
though what made him great maybe impossible for most since he did charge into battle and with the right use of arms, the macedonian heavy cav is the key to most of their victories

it was only later when the later greeks ditched combined arms they got cut down by roman tactics

>dude I'm gonna conquer the world lmao
>dies of sharting

He conquered land at an age where he'd be underage to shit post about it.

Fuck off, leave the interesting threads here

revengious and totalitarian as fuck
10/10 comander
live fast die young leave a good looking corpse

Alex was and fuckin arab?
Why world is so mad

Napoleon and Ceasar both LARPed as Alexander. Which settles it.

Caesar, most overrated general ever, panfrenchie propaganda ("we wuz stronk, so caesar was so good when conquered our land in a few time")

nah, caesar was a great tactician
pharsalus proved it
his battle prowess is obviously overshadowed due to his political ambitions

It's Ghengis and it's not even close

probably an exaggerated one tbqh.

Ghengis descendants did more work.

Considering he literally never lost, created a massive empire within a very short length of time, which, although splintered, had a lasting impact on the world, and that just about every general from caeser to napoleon wanted to be like him

Yeah, Alexander is the greatest.

Genghis, Atilla, Napoleon, Khalid ibn-Walid, Caesar, Hannibal

And Hitler.

How can a Russian say Hitler was a good general when he invaded Russia and fucked himself up

I need to be objective. Napoleon fucked himself up either.

not comparable, hitler just intervened
all the major offensives were planned by the okw

napoleon planned and executed his battles

Alex was 5'1", just imagine that, a mega-manlet form 2000 years ago was more successful than all of you cucks. Not only that he has confirmed to have killed a 7 foot tall Persian giant in single combat. Meanwhile Sup Forums complains about being 5'7"

or rather the okh

5'7

Was that short at the time?

Yeah the Macedonians had a lot of amazing generals.

give me one reason why he's better than subutai

...

> charging into battle
> holding a sack of potatoes above his head

WTF is he doing?!! Jesus Christ no wonder he's dead

Western-centric world view.

Alexander wouldn't even be the third best general in Genghis' army. Not even the top 10 out of Asia.

>muh /his/

Fuck off. He can post this shit here if he likes.

Suvorov was the true GOAT and the only people who unironically believe he isn't are people who don't know who he is. That's literally it.

he won over hannibal who came down from the alps with goddamn elephants.

Khalid ibn al walid was also very good

Epaminondas

Timur, from rags to riches. A cripple manages to successfully invade India which even Genghis couldn't, beat the Tatars in Central Asia, capture an Ottoman Sultan after crushing his army, exterminate the Crusaders in Izmir, cross the Caucasus in decimate the Georgians, and sack every city between North India and Western Anatolia. Sword of God he called himself.

No, he was.

He was one of the first people to study the moon's effect on the tides and he fucking used it to block the enemies path.

He was also the one responsible for changing the Tordesilhas line further west so we'd get Brazil.

The greatest general is /balk/, it is not full of weeks or fags

>who came down from the alps with goddamn elephants.

And long vulnerable supply lines. Long supply lines always kill you in the end.

Barclay de Tolly > anyone else in that era in terms of strategic intelligence

He was the ultimate conqueror, but far from the best tactician
It was his ideological changes that brought forth most waves

it wasnt cesar who beat hannibal you dumb fuck, it was Flavio Gaio Insinna, who reportedly called him "a pathetic dwarf who i'd kick in the mouth"

this, alexander wasn't shit compared to subutai

Lmao no
He came so close to fucking loosing a battle for a shitty little fort against barbarians

>loosing

It's actually Khalid ibn al wait
It takes an especially good general to beat the combined force of both Persia and Byzantium

Fuggin autocorrect
*Khalid ibn al walid

shitskin

shitskin

Alexander was born into power and received the greatest education available at the time and lived a life of luxury from birth

Genghis Khan rose from the bottom as a mongol tribesman and managed to kill 10% of the population, he's an entirely self-made man and thus the greatest general

Buttmad

genghis khan was a subhuman you asian shitskin

shitskin

And you are butthurt Greek rapebaby

Ikibey you even admitted yesterday you had brown skin.

So going 1-0 is better than the 51-4 of Napoleon

Alexander conquered Asia minor, Greece, Egypt, Persia, and India if his army didn't want to go home. It wasn't like he was a one hit wonder.

you are the rape baby you arab shitskin

america is a shitskin country

Not true. Greece was largely subdued by his father, the same one who created his army and tactics. Asian minor as conquered by him, but Egypt gave themselves up as soon as they heard Alexander was coming. Persia was conquered as well but lets not pretend that the already exhausted and depleted armies could have stood up to the hundreds of thousands of manpower in India. My point is not losing a battle isn't a requirement to be the best.

shitskin

Post hand

america is a dangerous shitskin country

Hannibal was around like 200 years before caesar was born

He can't. Congolese.

Stop replying to ikibey you retarded newfags.
