Jackson? That lemon-sucking God-bothering nutcase?
I should have known.
Just as an afterthought, here is my Civil war combined 18
Backs:
BP: Sedgewick ("They couldn't hit an elephant from there") in the back pocket to distract sharpshooters.
FB: Thomas The Rock of Chickamauga as the mainstay of defense (although he played on the flank at Chickamauga, he's key position height and weight).
BP: J Johnston. Utterly defensive negative player.
HB: Custer. Good at picking up flankers like he did at Gettysburg. Tendency to charge at everything in sight.
CHB: Bob Lee. Nicknamed "General" after the Richmond ruckman. Elite player, equally good at attack and defense although occasionally innacurate in front of goal. Great on the rebound.
HB: Beauregarde. Eccentric, creative, just keep him out of the action.
Wing: Nathan Bedford Forrest. Known for his damaging runs and deep forays in attack.
Centre: Pickett. Famous for his attack in the centre.
Wing: Sherman. See N. B. Forrest. Best middle name of the war: "Tecumseh"
HFF: Hood. "Hungry" attacking player, a bit one-way though.
CHF: Grant. Dirty effective thug, more brute force than skill, but has the score on the board. Real name Hiram Ullysses, known as U.S.
HFF: Stonewall Jackson. Often played as a flanker eg his last match at Chancellorsville despite starting as a key defender in First Bull Run ("there is Jackson, standing like a stone wall").
FP: A. P. Hill. Savage attacking "in and under" player.
FF: Mclellan. Highly rated (by himself) player but very slow, so best left in the goalsquare.
FP: Morgan. Resting rover to change with Mosby.
Ruck: Lincoln. Okay he's not a military man but neither were most of the Union commanders. Has the height and nous to dominate the highest post for almost the whole game. Like Sedgewick, leaves himself vulnerable to sniping.
RR: Sheridan. Okay he's small enough to be a rover too, but didn't want to break up Mosby and Morgan.
Rover: Mosby. Volatile and productive if a bit violent.
