No, I was waiting for you to describe Lee's brilliance as a tactician during those battles, perhaps informing us in which battle you felt Lee particularly excelled. Instead I find you're shifting your position on Lee from brilliant tactical commander to competent battle planner without too much input from my side. Why you retreat almost as well as ol Granny himself [lol].

No retreat here. Still waiting for you to explain Lee's incompetence as a tactical commander.

Tell me, what is the difference between a "battle planner" and a tactical commander? What the hell is a "battle planner" anyway?

There's a substantial difference between planning for a battle and executing that plan. Isn't that obvious? Your inability to distinguish that difference helps explain why you also seem to equate competence with brilliance .

How much more remedial attention will you require before actually providing us with a specific example of Granny's brilliance as a tactical commander during the Seven Days Battles in early 1862?
