Aaah interesting..

King Fahd of Saudi Arabia.
You scored 43 Wisdom, 59 Tactics, 58 Guts, and 49 Ruthlessness!
You are most like King Fahd of Saudi Arabia. You are ruthless and you live your life by the book. Little independent thinking, and lots of severed body parts for thinking it.

A son of Ibn Saud , the founder of Saudi Arabia, Fahd served as interior minister and was named crown prince by his half-brother King Khalid. He was a powerful shaper of Saudi foreign and domestic policy under Khalid, on whose death (1982) he succeeded to the throne. Fahd encouraged limited modernization of Saudi Arabia, but the new constitution that established an appointed consultative national council left unchanged the royal family's control of the government. As a result of his prolonged illness following a 1995 stroke, de facto authority rests with Crown Prince Abdullah, his half-brother.


So that means you're dead, then?

I'm Colonel Tarleton.

You scored 55 Wisdom, 65 Tactics, 35 Guts, and 44 Ruthlessness!

You scored higher than 22% on Wisdom

You scored higher than 55% on Tactics

You scored higher than 4% on Guts

You scored higher than 27% on Ruthlessness

Tarleton... well, what can I say for a man who kills the wounded on the battlefield? Tarleton was a great tactician and cavalryman, and although he wasn't quite as evil as his counterpart in "The Patriot", Tarleton's morals were very definitely somewhat skewed. Now what does that about you?

Tarleton arrived in America with General Cornwallis and was a member of the patrol that captured General Charles Lee at Basking Ridge, N.J. He served with William Howe at Brandywine, Germantown, and Philadelphia. Tarleton went to Carolina as leader of a mixed force of cavalry and infantry and distinguished himself at Charleston and in the Carolina campaign before he was overwhelmed by Daniel Morgan at Cowpens. After the battle of Guilford Courthouse, he retreated into Virginia and was active in the Yorktown campaign. However, Tarleton is best known for stabbing the bodies of dead and injured revolutionaries to ensure that they wouldn't fight again.


So what, that is exactly what Allied soldiers did in the Pacific War, too, to insure that no Japanese soldier was just playing dead with a rifle or grenade hidden and ready. Does that mean I should rather play the Allies in WitP?

Vercingetorix
You scored 61 Wisdom, 48 Tactics, 41 Guts, and 52 Ruthlessness!
Leader of the Gauls, a chieftain of the Arverni. He was the leader of the great revolt against the Romans in 52 BC. Julius Caesar, upon hearing of the trouble, rushed to put it down. Vercingetorix was, however, an able leader and adopted the policy of retreating to heavy, natural fortifications and burning the Gallic towns to keep the Roman soldiers from living off the land. Caesar and his chief lieutenant Labienus lost in minor engagements, but when Vercingetorix shut himself up in Alesia and summoned all his Gallic allies to attack the besieging Romans, the true brilliance of Caesar appeared. He defeated the Gallic relieving force and took the fortress. Vercingetorix was captured and, after gracing Caesar's triumphal return to Rome, was put to death.


Me, wise and ruthless?

So that means you're dead, then?


Well it seems to be that I'm dead, and most generals/commanders on the list are dead as well. I think that alive/in-service generals are not analysed/known well enough. Heck there's a ton of general anyway so to be one that is known even after his death is an indication that he did something great/greatly-wrong/both!

Genghis Khan
You scored 75 Wisdom, 78 Tactics, 62 Guts, and 49 Ruthlessness!
Genghis Khan was a Mongol conqueror, originally named Temujin. He succeeded his father, Yekusai, as chieftain of a Mongol tribe and then fought to become ruler of a Mongol confederacy. After subjugating many tribes of Mongolia and establishing his capital at Karakorum, Temujin held a great meeting, the khuriltai, at which he accepted leadership of the Mongols and assumed his title. He promulgated a code of conduct and reorganized his armies. He attacked the Jurchen-ruled Chin empire of North China and by 1215 had occupied most of its territory, including the capital, Yenching (now Beijing). From 1218 to 1224 he conquered Turkistan, Transoxania, and Afghanistan and raided Persia and East Europe to the Dnieper River. Genghis Khan ruled one of the greatest land empires the world has ever known. He died while campaigning against the Jurchen, and his vast domains were divided among his sons and grandsons. His wars were marked by ruthless carnage, but Genghis Khan was a brilliant ruler and military leader. Timur was said to be descended from him. Other leaders like yourself include Julius Caesar and Tecumseh Sherman

Hey Rev.
Did you know that out of every ten Mogolians today, two have his genes?
I saw this on a National Geographic program.
He was a very "robust" individual.

The program is called "Looking for Adam".
Right up your line of work.

Scipio
You scored 68 Wisdom, 74 Tactics, 57 Guts, and 55 Ruthlessness!
You're most simillar to Scipio in the fact that you're smart and ruthless. Scipio beat Hannibal by luring him back from Western Europe (where he was crushing legion after legion of Roman soldiers trying to gain support from local tribes) by laying seige to his home country of Carthage. Hannibal returned to defend his home and was defeated at the Battle of Zama. Ruthless, but it worked.

Scipio was the conqueror of Hannibal in the Punic Wars. He was the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio, and from a very early age he considered himself to have divine inspiration. He was with his father at the Ticino (218), and he survived Cannae (216). The young Scipio was elected (c.211) to the proconsulship in Spain. He conquered New Carthage (Cartagena) almost at once (209) and used the city as his own base; within several years he had conquered Spain. As consul in 205, Scipio wanted to invade Africa, but his jealous enemies in the senate granted him permission to go only as far as Sicily and gave him no army. He trained a volunteer army in Sicily. In 204 he received permission to go to Africa, where he joined his allies the Numidians and fought with success against the Carthaginians. In 202, Hannibal crossed to Africa and tried to make peace, but Scipio's demands were so extreme that war resulted; Scipio defeated Hannibal at Zama (202), returned home in triumph, and retired from public life. He was named Africanus after the country he conquered. His pride aggravated the hatred of his enemies, especially Cato the Elder , who accused the Scipio family of receiving bribes in the campaign against Antiochus III in which Scipio had accompanied (190) his brother. It was only through the influence of his son-in-law, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, that Scipio was saved from ruin. He retired into the country and ordered that his body might not be buried in his ungrateful city. Later he revealed his great magnanimity by his attempt to prevent the ruin of the exiled Hannibal by Rome.

Hi all,

I am Scipio as well (like most of us)... strange... perhaps the authors put too few leader into their test (you see just around 10 names constantly coming up)...
