Moltke was outstanding, but Grant receives a slight edge because he had to apply comparable ideas more often, on a larger scale, and amid greater political complication.

Moltke receives credit for his strategic ideas and skill in manoeuvre. Grant has a slight edge in this comparison because he had to conduct such operations repeatedly and on a larger scale. The later qualification places particular weight on the political complications Grant faced.
