Only thing Revan can win in this is by a confrontation of fleets.ground armies, because he is a genius. Thats is though, Sidious woops Revan any other way.
Possibly; while it can be assumed that the Emperor isn't much of a military tactition, relying on the likes of General Grievous, Moff Tarkin, Admiral Thrawn, and Darth Vader for the actual conquest, he is a strategist par excellence and canon demonstrates his remarkable proficiency for strategy outside of the realm of politics; it was he who created Operation Shadow Hand which allowed the Remnant to retake vast portions of the galaxy despite the fact that the New Republic held the "winning hand" in overall military terms.
Wasn't Palpatine responsible for a lot of the military decisions the Empire made? Wasn't Endor his plan? True, it didn't work out so well for him, but it wasn't a bad concept. I wouldn't say he is tactically inept. Plus, I think battle meditation users have to have a good grasp of military strategy to use it effective and he used it on the largest scale of anyone we've seen.
