Which General would you use as a Doubles partner?

Which general would hold my hand, feed me bananas, and tell me what to do in a Team Game? That's who I'd want to be my double's partner.

Was this left open-ended or have you voted? I can't think of many Generals willing to do as such.

And Monty spanked Rommel at second Alamein, so I'd take him in a hearbeat.

it's amazing what double the men and double the tanks will do for the outcome of a battle...
The overcautious "Lord Montgomery of Alamein" was victorious, but not so easy with even forces...


Bytheway... General Anesthesia never complains about bad moves... so good choice there

One reason Monty had double the men and double the tanks was his careful husbanding of his forces. He also lured Rommel into an over aggressive attack. The legitimate criticism of Monty has to do with his cautious pursuit of Rommel which allowed the Germans to regroup in Tunisia - whereas an aggressive pursuit could well have wrapped up the north African theater within a month of second Alamein.

Rommel's generalship has been so overinflated it's not even funny. He has had the best pr of any WW2 general - and although he was an excellent tactician (division level he was great) as an army general he was pretty poor.

It's more like a game of rock paper scissors if you put it like that.
Rommel turned the entire North African war around for the germans, blitzkrieging his way through allied lines... Only to be stopped by a lack of ressources. He even adapted his 'overly aggresive' tactic to digging in and luring the allies into attacking. By the time they actually attacked, the axis were so exhausted by a lack of food and water, it wasn't even a battle anymore.

My point being: with equal ressources at all times, Rommel wins. Though I'm perfectly aware a battle is won by having good supply lanes, and cutting of your enemy's...

Fruity and I were planning on running away together, but then I confessed to those sex dreams I've been having about brett.
