Indeed. It's almost as if they never played the game, given the caption of Revan is the combination of numerous mods (Darth Malak reskin, Darth Revan armor, and light-saber blade color options).

Sure, they exist in *number that is effectively meaningless due to writers not having a good sense of scale*, and the Republic only had *number that is effectively meaningless due to writers not having a good sense of scale*, but it is pretty clear how as the war progresses, the Republic has superior resources.
And even if they had a ton of droids, ships are in relatively shorter supply.
Yea, still, he was one of the only opponents able to give Thrawn issue.
I would put Grievous above Anakin but I agree, Anakin had his moments. Anakin seems to have a natural knack for war-tactics, like he just thinks outside the box and somehow pulls it off.

Well, he completely decimated Grievous' fleet at the Battle of Bothawui. I'd need to scavenge some more but that's a pretty prominent one that deserves some more recognition imo.
Two I remember off the top of my head for Anakin are in TCW and Labyrinth of Evil. In TCW Anakin devised a bunch of risky on-the-fly plans which in the end prevented Grievous from destroying a medical station with an ion cannon. Can't remember the one from Labyrinth of Evil but Anakin did something where he distracted Malevolence's guns by going around in circles peppering at the shields which aided the overall mission somehow.. I dunno, maybe someone else will remember it better.

Basically, as I see it, there's a short list of people celebrated for their military genius- Thrawn, Gar Stazi, Revan (of which we see the first two pull repeated brilliant moves on page, Revan offscreen but has enough accomplishments we can buy it). Besides from that, we have a bunch of military commanders where it's much more a judgement call.
How come Palpatine is nowhere to be seen? He was damn well brilliant to say the least. Creating AI human beings to secretely serve him as he sees fit, which caused the downfall of the Jedi Order. He was manipulative, and very good at it as well, twisting Queen Amidala's thinking as well. Using Anakin's guilt as a ploy to turn him to the Dark Side, and using him as a weapon.
Now, political planning, manipulation, etc.? That he's grade A+ in, but he's not the one moving forces around on the battlefield, he has people for that.

Yeah, you'll note there's a reason I didn't pop in here and mention Bane. It's because Bane didn't really command forces on the battlefield.
Same could be said for Palpatine.

Similarly Krayt. Krayt lead his order, but for military, he had his Fist, Nihl or Stryfe, or other high rank Sith like Azard, handle the military end. Hett did do some commanding as a Jedi general, but once he became Sith he, like Palpatine, delegated that to others.
