TNGF
SELECTED
Lieutenant Thompson
primary
A lean, wiry young man in his mid-20s with sharp features and a clean-shaven face. His short brown hair is slightly tousled from the jump, and his piercing blue eyes scan the battlefield with focused intensity. A fresh scar runs along his left cheekbone from recent combat.
Sergeant Harris
primary
A rugged, middle-aged man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick mustache. His build is sturdy, with broad shoulders and a muscular frame from years of military training. His eyes are sharp and observant, constantly scanning the battlefield.
Private Dawson
secondary
A young, wiry British paratrooper in his early 20s, with a lean build and short-cropped brown hair. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, and his wide eyes betray his inexperience in combat. He has a fresh scratch on his left cheek from the landing.
German Machine Gunner
secondary
A young to middle-aged German soldier with a lean but muscular build, his face smudged with dirt and sweat. His eyes are sharp and focused, with deep lines of concentration etched around them. His hair is cropped short in military fashion, and his hands are calloused from handling weapons.
Medic Wilson
background
A wiry man in his late 20s with a gaunt face marked by exhaustion, his brown eyes sharp with focus despite the fatigue. His short, dark hair is matted with sweat and dust, and a thin layer of grime covers his face. His hands are steady but show signs of frequent washing and minor cuts from his work.
Dialog
Lieutenant Thompson
Harris! Get Dawson and his Bren gun set up behind that low wall—we'll need suppressing fire when we move forward, yes?
Sergeant Harris
Right, sir. Dawson! You heard the lieutenant—get that Bren in position sharpish. And keep your head down, lad.
Lieutenant Thompson
Jerry's got that farmhouse sighted in—we'll have to go 'round the flank once Dawson opens up. Watch for that MG42 nest by the bridge approach.
Sergeant Harris
Bloody hell—that's Kraut armor moving up the road. Those aren't the old girls we were briefed about.
Lieutenant Thompson
Where's that damn radio contact? We were supposed to have armor support by now.
Sergeant Harris
Typical brass planning—all the eggs in one basket and the basket's on fire. Orders, sir?
Lieutenant Thompson
We hold this position until 1700—if no relief comes, we fall back to the secondary rally point by the church. Keep the lads spread out and watch for snipers.
