	Villars
		To me Villars seems to be one of the most successfull french generals.
		On the other hand: he did not score a success on the Rhine while Louis of Baden was still in command, the victory at Denain was wun with an enormous numerical superiority, and at Friedlingen he made his mark more because of empty boasts than because of good generalship.
		This makes Villars a very successfull general rather than a brilliant general.
