who do you think - from any allegiance ? - i would say 'with the exception of Thrawn as he is obviously outstanding' but it would probably get me banned

personally i think that Admiral Ackbar was a good strategist...

Reven was a mastermind.

Don't forget Bel Iblis

Well if you don't count Thrawn that is a hard question. But I would have to say.............................. Pellaeon or Ackbar.

I have to agree with Dr. Nick that Bel Iblis was a great commander.

Slornie · « **Reply #5 on:** April 16, 2007, 10:29:27 AM »

yes, Bel Iblis was good, another person i think was good is Wedge Antilles, when he moved away from piloting a starfighter

Meyer · « **Reply #6 on:** April 16, 2007, 12:29:24 PM »

Bel Iblis isn't my favourite and neither is Wedge Antilles who is good fighter pilot but not much of a fleet commander

what about that Bothan from the Dark Nest trilogy - the one who repeatedly beat the 'Thrawn Simulator' ? - i would have thought he would be quite a good commander - but then again, fighting against a simulation is hardly the same as fighting against the real thing is it.

Meyer · « **Reply #8 on:** April 17, 2007, 12:00:45 PM »

you mean Nek Bwua'tu? I agree. If he would have been fighting against real Thrawn, he would have been defeated. I mean he won Thrawn in old battles, he knew what Thrawn would do next.

and a computer program wouldnt have the intuition of the real Thrawn, couldnt act irrational, wouldnt be able to use how the opponent moves/responds to determine species, and thus psychological blindspots - the technology wasnt there - as the battle computer Pallaeon tested in the hand of thrawn story shows

Meyer · « **Reply #10 on:** April 17, 2007, 01:00:16 PM »

I say that Nek Bwua'tu would have lost a battle against real Thrawn.

Nek woulda lost
personally, Pallaeon is the man
hes got his own star destroyer

Noret · « **Reply #12 on:** April 17, 2007, 09:04:12 PM »

i agree definitely Pellaeon

Meyer · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2007, 11:16:49 AM »

I wonder why don't they have Thrawn-class SD? What would it be like if there were?

Amusing as that is, Thrawn has been excluded from this as otherwise he would be the only name said in here.

i didnt actually exclude Thrawn

Meyer · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2007, 07:54:22 AM »

But if you could say Thrawn here everybody would say it and it would be stupid.

Slornie · « **Reply #19 on:** April 19, 2007, 10:55:28 AM »

well - either everyone misread what i wrote, or people decided to agree with me (in that Thrawn is outstanding) and picked who they think is the next best fleet commander
