I dont think individual battlefield decision is the road you want to go down for comparing Trotsky with other Bolsheviks. In fact doing so with his military record at all is silly.
Read... Well, literally any book about the October revolution and the Russian civil war. Just pick up any random one.
Edit:To rephrase. I was talking about 1917 before. Changing the subjct to the civil war in general isn't going to make anyone look good. The whole affair was filled with stupid decisions by every high ranking bolshevik and if we go through them nobody is going to come out looking even remotely competent, but Trotsky is probably the one that ends up looking least bad. SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CIVIL WAR.
I'm sorry, I misread your comment. I should have paid more attention.
