Wow, that sounds interesting, gonna learn more about this. Never thought about the idea that one could be a terrible strategist but an god tier field commander

Now I really want to know other military figures and distinguish them between good strategist/good field commanders or even both

Was Che Guevara a good commander? I know nothing about his military story, but it seems he played an important role in the cuban revolution, but dont know if he was vital for winning the war. Then there was the Bay of Pigs invasion defense but his influence there is debated as this thread shows, and then he went to have some blunders in Africa and Bolivia, but I dont know if that was the case of him trying to do the best with little resources or just made poor decisions that lead to his death
