I got a deck of cards made up for randomizing officer personality traits in my American Civil War games of Black Powder. Check them out on my blog:

Very nicely done! Why are there no cards for Lee and Grant?

Thank you for the comments, everyone. As I said, I can't take credit for the idea, but I think they turned out quite well.

There are no cards for Lee or Grant because they never commanded a single brigade. I was mostly sticking to people who held a brigade command in the field at some point, since the cards will mostly be used for brigade commanders, though I can also use them for the "Commander-in-chief" which in my case is a commanding a division. Also, I needed to save somebody for the backs of the cards, didn't I?
