What are some similarities and differences between Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great?

As a military strategist Napoleon was supreme. It is pointless to compare the two in the conditions that prevailed in their respective eras. For instance Genghis Khan's mobility is unmatched, and he could well have overwhelmed Napoleon's forces by the speed of his movement and arrival at critical areas of the battlefield. Countering that is Napoleon's firepower that would have decimated Genghis's forces no matter where they appeared. Therefore we need to place them with similar resources and seek to understand how their skills and abilities would have impacted the outcome. In this, despite Genghis's excellent and simple organization of his touman-based forces, and his sustained offensives, Napoleon would have prevailed with his superb insight into any battle situation, his strategic deception and positioning prior to battle, and his sheer determination in driving even exhausted troops toward his goal, and with his matchless mastery of complexities of modern battle. Without detracting from Genghis Khan's military genius, it must be said that his policy of total destruction of cities and people who refused to surrender to his forces left many of his adversaries unable to recover and pose a threat in the foreseeable future. In Napoleon's time this was unthinkable, consequently he had to reconquer the Austrians, Prussians and others time and again. If he could do as Genghis did, there would be no coalition against him as in 1814 and in the Waterloo campaign. Rajiv
