Generals the like of Patton and Rommel stir our hearts because of their flair and bravery in action but it is the good general who wins wars and campaigns. Generals such as those are usually found in the rear, directing supply lines and organising replacement pools, training areas, etc.

How is it that since WW1 it has been fairly easy for a general to be at the front and be able to return to his HQ for needs to be done there while during the Civil War and before a general never had that kind of mobility and was still able to be at the front lines and trake care of supply and replacements.
