Hannibal? Didnt he send his troops on a one-year expedition when the Romans crossed over and kicked their ass?
The others I can agree with.. I would put Stonewall Jackson up higher.. and maybe add Robert E Lee?

I agree. Hannibal overextended his resources. Although he was never able to take the City of Rome, he beat the Romans in battle repeatedly, but at such a cost to his troops and supplies that his "victories" were the beginning of the end for Carthage.
