Setting

Muddy battlefield near Münchenstein, Switzerland, surrounded by rolling hills and sparse forests. The ground is churned up from previous skirmishes, with patches of standing water reflecting the overcast sky. The Swiss Confederates have formed tight pike formations, their disciplined ranks contrasting with the chaotic advance of Habsburg forces.

TNGF
SELECTED
Swiss Captain
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick beard streaked with gray. His muscular build and upright posture reflect years of military discipline. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Swiss Pikeman
secondary
A sturdy Swiss infantryman in his late 20s, with a muscular build from years of drilling with the pike. His face is weathered from campaign life, with a short beard and deep-set eyes that squint against battlefield dust. His hands are calloused from gripping the ashwood pike shaft.
Habsburg Knight
secondary
A broad-shouldered knight in his early 30s, with a square jaw covered by a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes are visible through the visor of his sallet helmet. His armor is polished steel with the Habsburg crest prominently displayed on his surcoat. His warhorse is a massive destrier, its flanks flecked with foam from the charge.
Habsburg Foot Soldier
background
A weary Habsburg infantryman in his late 20s, with a gaunt face and sunken eyes from exhaustion. His muscular frame is strained under the weight of his armor and the muddy terrain. His short, dark hair is matted with sweat and dirt, and a fresh cut on his cheek drips blood.
Swiss Crossbowman
background
A wiry man in his late twenties with sun-weathered skin and close-cropped brown hair. His forearms are corded with muscle from years of drawing heavy crossbows, and his right shoulder bears a faded scar from a previous battle. His sharp eyes constantly scan the battlefield between reloads.
