It would be close between Julius Caesar and Alexander. Probably Alexander, though, because he never lost a battle. We might never know it, though--Caesar was great at spin--he told the Roman world that he had invaded Britain twice, when in fact the first time he tried to land, he was driven away almost immediately by the Brits.

Knowing history I would have to say that it would be Julius Caesar. I know all the great conquests that Alexander did but Caesar had better weapons and was on par with Alexander as a commander. Both or their troops loved them and would do anything possible for their leader. Caesar had less area to get suplies to him than Alexander did and Alexander did not want to stop when he was wounded. This lead to his death.

I'll pick Alexander as he did exhibit a true military genius. However, I would put some action on Julius Caesar as he probably was schooled in Alexander's tactics and could anticipate them.
It's kind of hard to pit generals that are three centuries apart, sort of like pitting George Washington against Edwin Rommel. Factors of available technology, terrain, and forces all have to be taken into consideration.

Has to be Alexander, with Caesar a close second. They were both prolific men of action with an organisation to match their military genius. The bastards!

Alexander. Youth got him going and daring did a good deal of the rest.

Caesar, the Roman legions and cavalry would've made short work of the Macedonian phalanxes. The use of flanking cavalry made short work of the greek phalanxes in real life.... The Egyptian and Babylonian armies would've been no match.

It would be a deadlock with Caesar and Alexander.

Alexander - most inventive tactically in overcoming a variety of adversaeries in a multitude of different battle conditions.
