You make a good point - Luigi Cadorna may edge out everyone, simply because his repulsive brutality and contempt towards his own side amounts to a formidable level of anti-panache - combined with a good helping of loser-dom, of course; but then, everyone left had that.
Hmmm looking over Lopez again…I think I underestimated him. So, I’m going to vote for Charles as well.
Charles - 2
If Charles goes…I am happy with any of the remaining 3 ‘winning’ 
I’m thinking the same. Percival may have been the height of incompetance…but he was not…evil.
If there is evil in the world, Luigi was it.
Interesting if so that both the best (Ghenghis Khan) and the worst (hopefully, Luigi) would share one trait in common - they were both horribly evil men, albeit in different ways. 
Yea but GK didn’t suck as a general 
Sticking with:
Arthur Percival – 1 (as already mentioned, not evil)
Charles le Temeraire – 1 (and it appears he’ll be the next to go)
I was aware of López before this game, but had somehow remained ignorant of the execrable Cadorna. So while Francisco is my “sentimental favorite”, I’ll have no problem seeing Luigi decorated as the “generalminimo” (or whatever the opposite of “generalissimo” may be).
Arthur Percival - 2
Francisco Solano López -2 Votes
I was the opposite. I was aware of how bad Luigi was…but had not heard of Lopez.
Charles le Temeraire - 2. Sorry, Charlie - I nominated you, but you just don’t suck quite enough.
For the record I owe Elon J. Farnsworth an apology. Darnit, I thought the spelling looked suspect, but was in too much of a hurry to do more digging.

I’ve been reading this thread with much fascination. Sorry for not voting — at least until a couple rounds ago, there were too many people for me to judge, really. Nonetheless:
2 points — Lopez. His sins were many, but they were more political than military. It looks as if he got snookered into fighting three countries at once — stupid, sure, but purely a political failure. Killing your own family members? Personal, really, but very much more political than military.
It’s very tough now - I’ll have to give my 2 votes to Lopez. As a co-nominator I’m happy he got this far but Percival and Cadorna shade him out just a touch.
Another 2 for Lopez. As I noted some of the turning point losses he had little to no control over. Bit off more than he could chew is his major error.
2 for Cadorna.
Another 2 for Lopez.
In a losing cause - Percival 2
Another 2 for Lopez.
