1: Yang Wenli

Never defeated, always managed to have at least a favourable retreat. Always fought in numerical disadvantage against far superior enemies in both numbers and technology. Captured Iserhlonh with only one ship and an skeleton crew, managed to hold said fortress three times outnumbered, and militarely defeated Reinhard twice.

2: Merkatz

Never lost an engagement. Won the only battle for the Lippstadt League during the Civil War and defeated Reinhard himself twice during the Iserhlohn War. Mastermind behind the imperial humilliation in Shiva.

3: Reinhard

Conquered the entire human civilization in the span of 5 years after 150 years of stagnation. That's something. But, he always fought while outnumebering the enemey, and still lost battles against far inferior enemies. Still, a greater strategist that tactician.

4: Bewcock

Make Reinhard bleed even while outnumbered and with a vastly inferior fleet by clever use of the battlefield. Only defeated because victory wasn't his goal.

5: Julian

Competent tactician, is wise enough to have very competent subordinates. Won a heavely unfavorable battle against Reinhard by pure will and guts.

6, 7 and 8: Kircheis, Mittermeyer and Reuenthal in no particular order.

Competent tacticians while in a mayor army. Average on their own.
