TNGF
SELECTED
General Albert Sidney Johnston
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a strong, military bearing. His face is weathered from years of service, with deep-set eyes and a prominent mustache. His hair is graying but still thick, combed back neatly under his hat. His posture is upright, exuding authority and confidence.
Union Sergeant
primary
A grizzled, middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a thick mustache. His build is sturdy, with broad shoulders and calloused hands from years of military service. A recent scar runs along his left cheekbone, a remnant from a previous skirmish.
Confederate Colonel
secondary
A middle-aged man with a weathered face, deep-set eyes, and a well-groomed beard streaked with gray. His lean but muscular build suggests years of military service. His posture is rigid, reflecting his disciplined background.
Wounded Private
secondary
A young Union soldier, no more than 18 years old, with a lean build and a boyish face. His fair skin is smeared with dirt and sweat, and his light brown hair is tousled and damp from exertion. A deep gash on his left arm bleeds through the makeshift bandage, and his uniform is torn and muddied from the chaos of battle.
Drummer Boy
background
A young boy, no more than 14 years old, with a slight build and a face still round with youth. His dark hair is tousled under his cap, and his hands are calloused from drumming. His eyes are wide with a mix of fear and determination.

Dialog

General Albert Sidney Johnston Press the advantage, Colonel. The Yankees are in disarray—now is the moment to drive them into the river.
Confederate Colonel At once, General. The 3rd Brigade will advance on the left flank—they'll not regroup in time.
Union Sergeant God damn it, form up on that tree line! If we break now, they'll slaughter us all!
General Albert Sidney Johnston Their center is wavering. Order the artillery to concentrate fire on that copse of oaks—their colors are still flying there.
Union Sergeant Jenkins, get those wounded to the landing! The rest of you—fix bayonets and hold this ground!
Confederate Colonel General, their right flank is collapsing—shall we commit the reserves?
General Albert Sidney Johnston Not yet, Colonel. Let us first see if this push breaks them. A reserve untimely spent is a battle needlessly lost.
