User blog:The Deadliest Warrior/The Greatest Men on Earth

That's right, I couldn't stay away from you guys! I'm back, and back with me is a competition deadlier than ever!

We are here to see who is the greatest man on earth. No single duels. No limits to just four or five weapons. Watch in shock and awe as I take you on a journey through history, from Alexander to General Custer, from Napoleon to Norman Schwarzkopf. I will delve into the depths of these military geniuses minds, uncover their powerful armies, and determine what it was that made them so deadly. Then, I will throw them against one another in a massive war that will have glorious conquests and crushing defeats. We will see if each man's leadership can overpower the other man's army, or if he will fall in battle bravely along with his men.

I will decide, once and for all, who is the greatest man on earth.

Suggestions are considered but may not be accepted.

THE CONTESTANTS:
Ancient = Up to the development of gunpowder, Early Gunpowder = up to WWI, and Modern = Post WWI

(Bolded is Ancient, Italicized is Early Gunpowder, and Underlined is Modern)

Alexander the Great

Master Sun-Tzu

Shaka Zulu

Harald Hardrada

Darius I of Persia

William of Normandy (the Conqueror)

Saladin

Genghis Khan

Hernan Cortez

General George Washington

Blackbeard

John Paul Jones

Napoleon Bonaparte

George A. Custer

Geronimo

More modern generals would be appreciated (I would like 8 for each category)

So with most of the generals chosen (I still need a few in the Modern category), I'm counting on all of you guys to choose the battle lines. Then war can begin and we will see who is the greatest man on earth!

Happy battling!
