Jack Churchill
In 1943 he and a corporal infiltrated a German held town and captured 42 German soldiers along with a mortar position with his longbow and bagpipes
.
Here is his quote about the end of the Pacific campaign after we dropped the bombs on Japan:
quote:
He was a WW2 Commando who served with distinction in a number of theaters, his exploits earned him the Military Cross.
quote:
He was known as ‘Mad Jack’ by his men and his fellow officers for his ferociousness in combat. Unlike his more conventional peers his weapons of choice were not the traditional British fire arms of the period, instead he chose to rush in to combat with a fricking long bow, a fricking sword and his trusty bag pipes.

Julius Caesar in the battle of Alesia.
Has a Gaul army surrounded with their leader Vercingetorix but they are in a good defensive position on a hill. Builds a giant wall around their position for that any attempt at a breakout would mean they would have to siege him. Caesar finds out that another Gaulic army is on the way to relieve Vercingetorix and destroy Caesars Legions. Caesar builds ANOTHER wall around him and his army meaning he is about to be besieged on both sides of the wall. This happens and Caesar STILL wins the battle and annexes Gaul in the name of Rome.
Hannibal Barca is another one.

Simo Hayha - Finnish sniper during the Finn-Russian Winter War during 1939-40. Grew up and lived as a farmer and hunter before the war. It is believed he killed over 500 Soviets during a 100 day period with his hunting rifle using only an iron sight. He used the iron sight so that other snipers wouldn't be able to see the glare from his scope. He would also put snow in his mouth so they couldn't see his breath. He was so deadly and feared the Ruskies nicknamed him "White Death" He once took a bullet to the face, healed up and went back to sniping.

Half of those 500 kills were made with an LMG while he was on duty as company leader, so he wasn’t just sniping

Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus
You don't even need to know what they did to differentiate them; just look at the competition. In case you're lazy I'll make it easy:
* One advantage of a disunited people with a 2000 thousand technological advantage on his side.
* The other rallied his community after getting its shite ruined by a rampaging foreign Army, raised and trained an army with his own funds; then used it to take down an empire with technological and economic parity.

No one is perfect. Cortes had his flaws and sleeping around was probably one of his bigger ones.

7 years after the battle of Zama, Scipio and Hannibal once again met face to face, this time at a dinner party, their conversation went something like this.
Hannibals choice of himself for the third slot naturally got a rise out of Scipio who asked
quote:
When Africanus asked who, in Hannibal's opinion, was the greatest general, Hannibal named Alexander, the king of the Macedonians because with a small force he has routed armies innumerable and because he has traversed the most distant regions, even to see which transcended human hopes. To the next request, as to whom he would rank second, Hannibal selected Pyrrhus, saying that he had been the first to teach the art of castrametation, besides no one had chosen his ground or placed his troops more discriminatingly; he possessed also the art of winning men over to him, so that the Italian people preferred the lordship of a foreign king to that of the Roman people, so long the master in that land. When he continued, asking whom Hannibal considered third, he named himself without hesitation"
Hannibals choice of himself for the third slot naturally got a rise out of Scipio who asked
quote:
"What would you say if you had defeated me?"
"Then, beyond doubt" he replied,
"I should place myself both before Alexander and before Pyrrhus and before all other generals"
