I’m not sure Monty had any hobbies, other than sticking needles in his voodoo doll of Georgie Patton.

Sounds like Monty was more analytical and, given the chance, could mount an effective attack as in North Africa, but was weaker in the spontaneous actions and decisions of the kind of aggressive warfare Patton waged.

Makes me think of Monty as more of a chess player while Patton was more of a Vince Lombardi.
