On the other hand, look what Rommel did to the Brits.

So flanking when outnumbered is a good tactic if your opponent is a dolt.

lol. Who was that - Auckenleck? At any rate, Montgomery's victory at El Alamein is over-rated. He outnumbered Rommel 3 to 1 (at least) in armor, and Rommel was in Germany (ill) for the first part of the set-piece battle (not Rommel's forte). Montgomery was, as you say, a legend in his own mind (dolt?).
