Dense forest of Belleau Wood, with thick underbrush, fallen trees, and scattered shell craters. The ground is uneven, littered with broken branches, spent bullet casings, and patches of mud. Smoke drifts through the trees, obscuring visibility in some areas.

TNGF
SELECTED
Marine Sergeant
primary
A battle-hardened US Marine sergeant in his early 30s, with a muscular build and weathered face. His skin is tanned and lined from years of service, with a prominent scar running along his left cheekbone. His dark brown hair is cropped short in military fashion, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with sharp focus. His hands are calloused, gripping his rifle with practiced ease.
Marine Private
secondary
A young Marine, barely out of his teens, with a lean build and a face still bearing traces of youthful softness. His hands tremble slightly as he grips his rifle, and his wide eyes dart nervously between the trees. A thin layer of sweat and grime covers his face, and his uniform is smudged with dirt and foliage from crawling through the underbrush.
Wounded Marine
secondary
A young Marine in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build, now lying wounded on the forest floor. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his uniform is torn where the machine gun fire struck him. His breathing is labored, and his eyes are wide with pain and fear.
German Machine Gunner
background
A young German soldier in his early 20s, with a lean but wiry build from months of trench warfare. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, and his eyes are narrowed in concentration. His hands are calloused from handling the machine gun, and his uniform is worn and frayed at the edges.
Medic
background
A young Marine medic, likely in his early 20s, with a wiry but strong build. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, and his eyes are sharp with focus despite the chaos around him. His hands are steady, trained for precision even under pressure.
Dialog
Marine Sergeant
Keep moving, stay low! That machine gun nest is 50 yards ahead—flank left through the brush!
Marine Private
Sarge, Jenkins is hit bad—do we... do we leave him?
Wounded Marine
Leg’s gone... gods, it burns—don’t leave me here!
Marine Sergeant
Medic’s coming. You hold on, Marine. Private—cover that gully!
Marine Private
They’re pinning us down—how do we even—?
Marine Sergeant
Grenades. Toss smoke first, then rush ’em while they’re blind. Move like devils!
Wounded Marine
Give ’em hell, boys... for me...
