Pool of codenames

Gustav II Adolf (sometimes "Gustavus Adolphus II", 1594--1632): Swedish warrior king that during the Thirty Years' War expanded the Swedish Empire to its greatest extents. Revolutionised contemporary military tactics by employing tightly formatted cavalry charges in Hussar style, but where twin pistols where fired before contact was done with sabres, while infantry was used defensively and with contingents to support the cavalry charges. Because of his revolutionary tactics he earned the title "father of modern warfare". His method inspired other nations and later became standard tactics.

Carl Philipp Gottlieb von Clausewitz (1780--1831): Preussian soldier, military historian and military theorist. Clausewitz is arguably the father of modern warfare ("modern" here going beyond the Napoleonic era into 20th century warfare) and one of the most important theoreticians and writers on miiltary theory, strategy and tactics.

"Clausewitz" is the codename for WARTBED v0.1.

Antoine-Henri Jomini (1779--1869): French and Russian general and along with Clausewitz often considered the father of "modern" (here meaning "Napoleonic") military strategy. Outlived Clausewitz by thirty-seven years and discursively inseparable from him.

"Jomini" is the codename for WARTBED v0.2.
