Re: Straight up trade - Rommel for Patton

You're still dealing with two fundamentally different doctrines: Firepower for the US and Maneuver for the Germans. I don't believe either commander would do well with the opposing doctrine. Rommel tried Firepower at 1st El Alamein and failed. I can't think of an example of Patton using Maneuver.
