very good and some great music but i feel you might have been better making is shorter as its a lot to sit through. only thing i would argue with is Sala-al Dins place at no. 18 which i don't think he deserves. the man was never a good General and was defeated numerous times like at Montgisard or the siege of Acre which despite at first having the larger force he failed to crush them and then in the many battles through the third crusade failed again to stop there taking of Acre, the loss at Arsuf and then at Jaffa. he was a good politician and he knew how to handle administration but he was no military man, hattin was more to do with the franks mistakes rather then his leadership.

What's Burgoyne doing there, and why is his greatest battle listed one that was an utter defeat for him? Let alone placing him above Lettow-Vorbeck, who's probably top twenty worthy.

how can a man who when outnumbered inflicts 10,000 casualties and only loses 20 be ranked 167? I would have thought he would be better!
