Juno Beach, Courseulles-sur-Mer, Normandy, France. The wide, sandy beach is strewn with obstacles like metal hedgehogs and wooden stakes. The shoreline is littered with damaged landing craft, bodies, and debris. The sea is choppy with waves crashing onto the shore, and the horizon is dotted with more landing craft approaching.

TNGF
SELECTED
Canadian Lieutenant
primary
A young man in his mid-20s with a lean but athletic build, his face smeared with dirt and sweat. His short brown hair is damp from seawater, and his piercing blue eyes scan the beach with focused intensity. A fresh scar runs along his left cheekbone from recent combat.
Sergeant
secondary
A battle-hardened Canadian NCO in his mid-30s, with a stocky, muscular build from years of military training. His face is weathered, with a few scars from previous engagements, and his short, dark hair is matted with sweat and sand. His piercing blue eyes are alert and focused, scanning the battlefield for threats.
Private
secondary
A young Canadian infantryman in his early 20s, with a lean but sturdy build from months of training. His face is smeared with sand and sweat, his eyes wide with a mix of terror and determination. His short, dark hair is damp from seawater, and his hands grip his rifle tightly, knuckles white from the strain.
German Machine Gunner
secondary
A young German soldier in his early 20s, with a lean but wiry build, his face streaked with sweat and dirt. His hair is cropped short under his helmet, and his hands are tightly gripping the MG42. His eyes are narrowed in concentration, scanning the beach for targets.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young Canadian soldier in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build from military training. His face is streaked with sweat, sand, and blood, and his hair is matted under his helmet. He has a fresh bullet wound in his left thigh, staining his uniform dark red.
