I think we can all agree that Forrest was one of, if not the best, cavalry commander of not just the CSA but on both sides. The exploits of Stuart are also well known.
In my research, I find myself wanting to rate Stuart just a little below Forrest, giving Forrest a 4 tactical rating and Stuart a 3. Now, by tactical rating, I am just talking strictly about their ability to fight an actual battle, with some of their overall abilities thrown in.
I find that Stuart seemed to sometimes let his desire for fame and getting his name in the papers impair his tactical judgement. I also am thinking of the fact that Stuart let Lee down when, ironically, he probably needed him the most… right before Gettysburg. Because of this, I feel like he was not quite as good as Forrest.
What do you guys think? Am I right, being fair, or do you think Stuart has just as much ability and should be given the same rating as Forrest? Thanks. Happy gaming!!
