Battle of Ballinamuck

French and Irish rebel forces make their last stand against British troops in the Irish Rebellion of 1798, fighting desperately on the muddy fields of Ballinamuck.

Setting

A rolling, uneven field near Ballinamuck, dotted with patches of gorse and heather. The ground is muddy from recent rains, with shallow trenches hastily dug by the rebels. The surrounding landscape is a mix of open farmland and scattered cottages, now abandoned or damaged by the fighting.

TNGF
SELECTED
General Jean Humbert
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered French officer in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His dark hair is streaked with grey and tied back in a queue, and he sports a well-trimmed mustache. His posture is upright, exuding military discipline despite the dire circumstances.
Irish Rebel Leader
primary
A rugged man in his late 30s with a wiry build, sun-weathered skin, and piercing blue eyes that reflect both determination and weariness. His dark auburn hair is tied back in a loose queue, and a thick beard covers his jaw. A long scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
British Officer
secondary
A stern-faced man in his early 40s, with a lean but muscular build. His sharp features are accentuated by a neatly trimmed mustache and sideburns. His piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with cold calculation, and a faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a remnant of past conflicts.
Rebel Fighter
secondary
A wiry Irish peasant in his late 20s, with sunken cheeks from hunger and hardship. His fair skin is smeared with dirt and gunpowder, and his unkempt brown hair is tied back with a scrap of cloth. His hands are calloused from farm work and now gripping a musket.
British Soldier
background
A young, wiry infantryman in his early twenties, with a sunburnt face and a determined set to his jaw. His hands are rough from handling his musket, and his posture is slightly hunched from the weight of his pack and the strain of battle.
