	Some of these - Francesco Sforza and Robert E. Lee for example - served multiple states. The one they're under is an approximation of who they did the most, most impressive or most famous service under. Still, any corrections or other feedback is appreciated.

	Agree with the thought above, but then there are issues with others (i.e. Heinz Wilhelm Guderian famously served for a different group than indicated).

	That one is my mistake. He was a minor officer during World War I, which obviously isn't his most famous service. Changed him to Nazi Germany instead. Thanks!

	Albrecht von Wallenstein essentially battled for the Holy Roman Empire, and so the Habsburg Dynasty before being convicted for treachery. This one needs to be changed IMHO. Otherwise, as awesome and educative a quiz as you can find on Sporcle. Thanks!

	Thank you. To avoid unnecessary ambiguity, I've decided to categorise all three under under one, in particular, the Holy Roman Empire. Both the Habsburgers and the Holy Roman Empire are correct, and the Holy Roman Empire is probably the more well known of them.

	Clive should likely be at "British East India Company" rather than "Kingdom of Great Britain."

	The list of generals used isn't half bad. It's really annoying that Hitler gets ranked above Khalid ibn Walid and Subotai all the time.

	It's a good quiz but, uggh! It's really hard.

	Winfield Scott? I am pretty sure I have heard of him, but really, among all the other great American generals?

	THIS QUIZ STRESSED ME OUT !!!!!!!!!!!

	Super hard figuring out what category a given general might go under. I think a really fascinating challenge, but a difficult one nonetheless. I will say I got probably a dozen wrong clicking on like "Roman Republic" instead of "Roman Empire" because I didn't notice the difference until partway through the quiz....

	Is it a bad sign that I learned almost all of these from (violent) video games?

	NorwegianSalmon:	Mar 3rd, 2013 at 18:24 GMT		1 point
	@johnlk - It has been amended. Thanks for pointing it out. It required much consideration though, as the British state exerted some influence over the East India Company prior to its nationalisation.

	I think you should really consider putting in George S. Patton... I like this game... I added it as a favorite. : )

	Scotsmenrule:	Mar 9th, 2013 at 00:38 GMT		1 point
	I do realize that you've got to keep the number of generals low, but considering Patton was the greatest American general in the greatest war the world has ever known (thus far) I thought you might replace a man like Winfield Scott or somebody... Just a suggestion.

	NorwegianSalmon:	Mar 9th, 2013 at 13:36 GMT		1 point
	The list continues to 200 actually, if you check out the source, George S. Patton is #160.

	Scotsmenrule:	Mar 9th, 2013 at 23:46 GMT		1 point
	Okay... as long as Patton is included. (I liked to see Robert E. Lee there.) An Idea––perhaps you ought to go for a "The Top 200 Generals in history" with a Part I and a Part II??
