Name a tactician who held his own longer than Rommel during WWII.
Losing a battle, which happened to be the final one in this case, is not always the sign of infiriority.

Please, keep you fictional characters out of this. Otherwise we could all sperg about a character we just invented who was brilliant in this world and universe we invented.

>Qu'kil of the goman universe led 10 troops into battle and bested the evil Nexa who had more than 20'000 at his disposal! What a great military leader and tactician!

Except that the series is well writen and the battles make perfect sense. That aside he's regarded as a genius tactician, not a demi-god which results in him making mistakes and losing battles as well, your example thus is moot at best or plain unfair in its balance at worst.

>ass-pulls
While some scenarios were definitely convinient to the progression of the plot (like in most if not all works of fiction) most of them were realistic enough to not ruin the immersion.

>inb4 arguing over the realism of interstellar/galactic battles.
Shame you don't have an appreciation to a well writen plot and characters (however, I'd agree that because of the huge cast some characters appear rather undeveloped in comparison with others in the series).
