Well, even though he was the main actor of France defeat in 1870, I have to agree with Mollinary on this one. Moltke was the smartest military mind of the period in my opinion, at least in Europe. For their panache and courage, I am very attached to Canrobert and Mac-Mahon as well.

Oops! forgot you couldn't have ACW. Never mind, still a ruthless, focused bugger.

My sensible answer is Collingwood. Much more of a safe pair of hands than that prat Nelson.

Henri Dufour - won the Swiss Civil War with no fuss and kept both his own and his opponents' casualties to a very bare minimum.
