Answer 2

You might want to look at a Lakota named Crazy Horse, the tactics used against the US Army in Wyoming in 1876 are pretty impressive.

Forrest is an excellent choice. Grant, relentless Grant is a good one, Lee, probably the best soldier the USMA has produced to date, a Confederate named Magruder managed a pretty effective tactic that convinced George McLellan that he faced a far superior enemy, just by marching his men along the lines, changing flags, to make it appear there were more men than there were during the Peninsular campaign in 1862, Ray Spruance and Jack Fletcher, the two admirals who, in June 1942 at Midway, knocked off four of the carriers that hit Pearl Harbor.
