Well, yeah. They're knowledgable and deadly in person. Generalship doesn't come into it. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 04/10/2009 12:09:50 AM
I'm just saying that, whatever their troop-leading abilities are, they haven't been making use of them... at all. Rahvin didn't use Andor's troops for anything, other than maybe a bit of harrying Cairhein's borders. Did Sammael use Illian's troops at all? I forget.


No one else has done anything "general-y." They're pretty shrewd, politically, and of course can easily slaughter hundreds of people in one breath, but that's not what we're talking about.
I amuse myself.

I still haven't seen proof of Demandred or Ishamael's "brilliance". - 01/10/2009 09:56:41 PM 698 Views

Ah, come on... - 02/10/2009 04:41:37 PM 625 Views
No no, I was just being pouty that I haven't read the new stuff yet. - 02/10/2009 05:01:15 PM 627 Views

Re: What about Mat and Ituralde? - 02/10/2009 03:52:24 PM 622 Views
Good points! Also, these "generals" haven't actually fielded any troops - 01/10/2009 11:23:40 PM 603 Views
Further... - 02/10/2009 12:14:44 AM 637 Views
But as individuals they are meant to be deadly too - 02/10/2009 05:09:21 AM 595 Views
Just one point ^_^ - 03/10/2009 12:51:50 AM 609 Views

Tylee Kirgan, Birgitte, and one other, Egeanin - 01/10/2009 09:47:00 PM 1023 Views
Birgitte's not a soldier though. - 01/10/2009 10:10:50 PM 611 Views
She says she's not, but so does Mat. - 01/10/2009 10:34:04 PM 535 Views
Mat's not a soldier, either - he's a general - 01/10/2009 10:51:29 PM 680 Views
Right, which was what we were discussing at first. - 02/10/2009 04:13:43 PM 606 Views
Yeah, I'm supporting your point about them both being generals - 02/10/2009 06:10:31 PM 625 Views
true, but she does pretty good - 02/10/2009 01:06:03 AM 679 Views
Oooh I forgot she's in charge of Elayne's lady guards. - 02/10/2009 03:22:57 AM 552 Views

Well said. (And its short and to the point.) - 02/10/2009 03:54:23 AM 734 Views
Birgitte is too cautious to be better than an adequate tactician. - 02/10/2009 04:22:45 AM 661 Views
Isn't this more of an outgrowth or her respective specialty? - 07/10/2009 08:40:46 PM 567 Views

That's a poor excuse - 02/10/2009 11:59:42 AM 562 Views
That's a poor argument - 02/10/2009 04:02:53 PM 763 Views

I always know I've out-argued an idiot when they fall back on the tired old "RJ wanted it that way" - 06/10/2009 04:42:11 AM 667 Views
