I voted for WW1, Cold War & Modern War.
After reading my very first book on WW1, "The Guns of August", courtesy of KG_Soldier, I was hooked on WW1. What an incredible history to learn about. Cold War- The build up between the Soviets & Nato & all the "what-if's", scenarios such as the Fulda Gap, have always fascinated me. Modern War- technology at it's best.

Aside from his drinking and turning his HQ area into a brothel, IMHO Hooker wasnt as bad a General as people make him out to be.

Quote:
His inaction makes Jackson's flank attack one of the greatest attacks in history, an attack which violates one of the central tenets of warfare -- never separate your force in the face of a numerically superior opponent. The only reason Hooker's force is not completely routed is that Jackson underestimates the amount of time it will take to flank Hooker's force, and doesn't arrive for the attack til late afternoon.

I actually think I got the numbers of Lee's and Jackson's respective forces flip-flopped which makes Hooker's inaction even worse!
