Most Overrated generals in history

[Stryker]

I get your point(s), Boney was exceptional, but it doesn't make Wellesley any less of a great commander. I think everyone would agree that Waterloo wasn't Napoleons finest hour, some strange tactical choices - perhaps he was over-confident after handing Blucher his arse a few days earlier and thought he'd seen the last of him? but Wellington still had to win it... and you know what's it's like with heroes and rose-tinted glasses :) - any French defeat at the hands of the British is always "great" in my view :P

good discussion points
