I'm not too sure that we should write off some of the REAL generals/Admirals just because they don't have pointy ears, metal skin, 'abit into the ocult' or gene enhanced.

Admiral Nelson's decisive victory at the Battle of the Nile is still regarded as one of the the most decisive naval engagement of the great age of sail, showing the use of natural environmental issues, marine boarding parties, disciplined use of controlled force, the famous 'Crossing the T' tactic etc etc. A void war would be in 3D (in a greater manner than on the ocean) and have different technology but Nelson won through understanding his factors and playing his cards well e.g. how the tides/wind would effect attack, where to focus attacks, secondary targets etc etc All of these have direct parallels for void combat...as we understand it, as of course, we have never done it. 1/3
