pick your leader - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

You have a chance to pick any ficticous leader from any book to command your army against an enemy army twice the size of yours.
Who would you choose and why?

Mine would be Parmmenion from Gemmells Lion of macedon.
Simply because he's the strategos.

Good question! I think this will require some thought. I will get back to you.

Heh mine would be Parmenion from Lion of Macedon too. If it was an ancient battle.

If it was a modern battle like in the 18-19th century i would Napoleon Bonaparte from Simon Scarrow's Young Bloods.

Belgarath from the Belgariad/ Malloreon.

bruno-1012 · 30th November 2007, 01:06 AM

Queen Alisande from Stasheff's A Wizard in Rhyme.

As long as she is in the right she cannot be defeated in battle.

Rohan · 30th November 2007, 04:03 AM

Coltaine from the Malazan series.

Omphalos · 30th November 2007, 05:38 AM

Ender Wiggin.

Culhwch · 30th November 2007, 05:44 AM

Lord Vetinari, Patrician of Ankh-Morpork.

Talysia · 30th November 2007, 07:58 AM

I'd pick Belgarath as well.

Sephiroth · 30th November 2007, 10:28 AM

I would third the choice of Parmenion.

Kissmequick · 30th November 2007, 10:37 AM

I'd go for Sam Vimes

He'd prevent the war by arresting the opposing army for breech of the peace....Oh wait he did that didn't he

Joel007 · 30th November 2007, 12:25 PM

General Tacticus, Lord Vetinari, or Grand Admiral Thrawn!

Dakeyras, Gemmel's Waylander.

Without hesitation I would choose Zhuge Liang (Kongming) the ultimate strategist and general from The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
