TNGF
SELECTED
Allied Tank Commander
primary
A battle-hardened officer in his early 30s, with a lean but muscular build from years of combat. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, with sharp, piercing eyes that have seen too much. A faint scar runs along his left cheekbone, a souvenir from an earlier engagement. His hands are calloused from gripping tank controls and weapons.
German Officer
primary
A Wehrmacht captain in his mid-30s, with a lean but wiry build from years of military service. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, with sharp blue eyes that dart nervously. A fresh scratch runs along his left cheek, and his uniform is torn at the shoulder.
Allied Sergeant
secondary
A grizzled infantry NCO in his late 30s, with a weathered face marked by deep lines and a five o'clock shadow. His build is stocky and muscular, built for endurance. His left cheek bears a faint scar from a previous engagement, and his hands are calloused from years of handling weapons. His hair is cropped short under his helmet, with streaks of gray beginning to show at the temples.
Wounded Soldier
secondary
A young German private, no more than 19 years old, with a pale, sweat-streaked face and hollow cheeks. His fair hair is matted with dirt and blood, and his blue eyes are wide with pain and fear. He has a lean, boyish build, now made frail by exhaustion and injury. A deep, ragged wound in his abdomen stains his uniform dark red, and his left leg is twisted at an unnatural angle.
French Farmer
background
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a wiry frame and deeply tanned, weathered skin from years of laboring in the fields. His face is lined with wrinkles, and his hands are calloused. His thinning gray hair is unkempt, and he has a short, scruffy beard.
Dialog
Allied Tank Commander
Gunner, traverse left—Panzer IV at two o'clock. Load HEAT. Fire when ready.
German Officer
Verdammt! Fall back to the orchard—regroup there! Schnell!
Allied Sergeant
Keep low, boys. Krauts are dug in behind that hedgerow. Flank 'em through the ditch.
German Officer
Nein—they're cutting us off! Where is the damned artillery support?
Allied Tank Commander
Infantry moving up on our six. Hold fire 'til they clear.
Allied Sergeant
Farmer—stay down! This ain't over yet.
German Officer
Alles ist verloren...
