I agree with a lot of your list...just not in the right order. I wouldn't put Hitler on the list. He wasn't a military strategist like most on this list. Hitler had a lot of competent generals on the field.
I would also put George Washington and Ulysses S. Grant on the list.
Sun Tzu. He wrote the book on military strategy. Granted, it may just be that Sun Tzu is a placeholder name for various authors that constructed the Art of War. But assuming that it was indeed one man that composed it.

1. Me playing command & conquer
2. The new world order leader whoever it is
3. Alexander
4. Sun Tzu
5. King Alaric (of the Visigoths)
6. Hannibal
7. Nelson
8. Julius
9. Genghis Khan
10. Karl Philipp Gottlieb von Clausewitz
Hitler was an awful military leader. If he just shut up and listened to his commanders, Germany would have been better off. Instead, he had to butt into every little detail and not allow his underlings the information that they needed in order to be successful.
Lists like this are hard, because you have to put Generals who were amazing on the list, but leave off others. Like you have Hannibal on your list, but where is Scipio? You have Charlemagne, but not Charles Martel.
