I prefer my generals to have high Military Command as their
primary characteristic.  It also helps if the general in question has
mid-range Heroism and some Rulership ability can't hurt either.
	I've fielded, in the same battle, two generals that had Excellent
Military Command where one had nil Heroism and the other had Excellent or
Superior, I think.  The general with the Heroism ability performed better
than the one without.  Based on my observations over the years, I've come
to the conclusion that Military Command relates more to the learning the
tactics and strategy of how to properly deploy troops whereas Heroism is
more closely affiliated with strength of personality.  Rulership ability,
to my mind, would represent the character's administrative ability (a
useful thing for a general commanding 150,000+ troops...:).
	So, your general might be a tactical and strategic genius, but if
he gives his orders to his troops with a slightly whining voice, or if he
lacks that certain flair, or perhaps he even lacks a certain decisiveness
of character (all rolled up into Heroism, in my opinion), then he won't
do as well on the battlefield as a first look at his Military Command
ability might suggest.
