History: The King of Sweden, Gustavus was known as one of the Greatest Military Generals in history, recognized by Napolean, George S. Patton, and more. His skills at reinventing the way his army fought earned him the title of "Father of Modern Warfare". Through his life, he'd been given many titles such as the above as well as, "The Lion of the North" and "The Golden King", and "Gutavus the Great", a title owned only to him. Gustavus Adolphus was killed at the Battle of Lützen, when, at a crucial point in the battle, he became separated from his troops while leading a cavalry charge into a dense smog of mist and gunpowder smoke.

Title - Father of Modern Warfare
Rank - A+
Type - Anti-Army, Anti-Fortress
Range - 1-1000
Number of Targets - 1000
Description - An Anti-Army Bounded Field that enables Gustavus to call forth innumerable wraiths to act as his Soldiers, with Gustavus as the Center of it. The Wraiths will organize in such a manner that, while utterly weak individually, act as the true military force that once served under "The Golden King". The Wraiths can be manifested as Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, or Cannoneers. There once was a Mighty General King whom Gustavus came to idolize and wished to emulate in the modern era. Should he ever come face to face with the King, this Noble Phantasm would be on equal footing with his own army, losing in numbers and physical strength, but making up for it in versatility and firepower.

Indeed it would, as a Bounded Field can be activated in a Reality Marble. Not only that, most of Iskander's men were Infantry from what I saw of his Reality Marble. Gustavus would have his men as Cannoneers, followed by Pikemen (potentially), thusly followed by Cavalry and Infantry. Though, Iskander's armies would have the advantage in terms of strength and numbers.

That is true, so its going to be an even fight due to the Cannoners and long range weapons and short range units VS all short range units.

Yep. The Cannoneers are the main advantage Gustavus has over Iskander. Though while Cavalry has power over Infantry, his Cavalry are still weak.

I agree, once it gets close range, they are goners.

Agreed, for the most part. Though, still consider that Gustavus is one of, if not the greatest, military general in history. I'm certain he can pull quite a bit out of his hat to have a potential chance against Iskander.

I can agree with u there, Iskander is a forward charge guy vs a Tactician is going to be a blood bath.

Gustavus, from what I read, was also a forward charge guy. His tactics were known to emphasize attack over defense. They are similar. I can honestly see them both well-greeting and respecting one another as they were very similar in life. =)

I think it could also be interesting if he were to face off against someone like Sun Tzu or Zhuge Liang who did not favor offense or defense specifically, but rather were able to come up with ingenious tactics for nearly any situation. Though against Sun Tzu or Zhuge Liang, someone who favors a 'forward charge' strategy would probably end up losing (though that ultimately would depend on if Gustavus could adapt to either tactician's combat tactics quickly enough. If he could he may have a better chance).

Also, Pikemen were the one major vulnerability of Cavalry. If a force of Cavalry was charging at a line of Pikemen, all the Pikemen would have to do is 'brace' their spears/pikes/lances and let the oncoming cavalry impale themselves or their horses on those braced polearms (using the Cavalry's own speed and momentum against them), effectively crippling that cavalry unit instantly. And Pikemen were a sort of Infantry, so both Iskander and Gustavus would probably have a fair number of Pikemen at their disposal.
