So I saw a blog post or video or something somewhere recently calling Marlborough hands-down the best general of his generation. While he was certainly an excellent commander, I did think that saying he had no competition for that title would be...inaccurate and decided to start a poll/discussion. Turenne would be a bit too early to qualify, and Frederick a bit too late--I'd say Spanish Succession or Great Northern War for the most part would be where I'd think "same generation" would be found. So who do you all think was the most proficient general of that generation?
