TNGF
SELECTED
King Charles I
primary
A man of slight but regal bearing, aged 44, with a pointed beard and moustache in the Van Dyke style. His pale complexion is flushed from exertion, and his deep-set brown eyes survey the battlefield with a mix of resolve and apprehension. He sits astride a well-bred chestnut charger, his posture erect despite the weight of his armor.
Oliver Cromwell
primary
A middle-aged man of sturdy build with a weathered face, piercing eyes, and a prominent nose. His hair is cropped short in the Puritan style, and he sports a thick mustache. His posture exudes authority and conviction.
Royalist Officer
secondary
A seasoned cavalry commander in his late 30s, with a weathered face marked by a deep scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thick, dark eyebrows, and his short, dark brown hair is slightly tousled from wearing his helmet. He has a strong, muscular build, honed from years of military service.
Parliamentarian Officer
secondary
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a well-trimmed beard. His build is sturdy, with broad shoulders and a muscular frame from years of military training. His piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with sharp focus, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone.
Royalist Musketeer
background
A young man in his early twenties, with a lean but wiry build from months of campaigning. His face is smudged with dirt and powder burns, and his unkempt brown hair sticks out from beneath his montero cap. His hands are calloused but shake slightly as he works.
Dialog
King Charles I
We perceive their horse doth outflank our left... yet Providence shall not abandon us this day, is it not so?
Royalist Officer
Your Majesty, their Ironsides advance in good order. We must reinforce Prince Rupert's flank or be overrun.
Oliver Cromwell
Now is the appointed hour! Let every man do his duty as unto the Lord - forward at the trot!
King Charles I
Our foot stands firm as the oaks of Windsor... yet why doth Rupert's cavalry tarry beyond the hedgerow?
Royalist Officer
The reserve dragoons are spent, sire. We must sound the recall or lose the baggage train.
Oliver Cromwell
See how the Philistines flee before the armies of the living God! Press the advantage - the field is ours!
