Gerhard Brant - Private (Machine Gunner)
Gerhard is the most hot-tempered of the group. Tall, strong, and mean - this bull-of-a-man represents the extremes of bravery and courage. Or perhaps it is arrogance and anger - after all, Brandt served in the Great War and harbors a particular grudge against the Allies. Gerhard carries an MG32 machine gun and a Luger pistol.

The Belgians

1 Leopold van der Koopften - Sergeant
The commander of the unit, he is like many recruited from the lower gentry. He carries a Karabiner 1889: Cavalry with a socket bayonet always on, alongside his sabre and FN-1910.

2 Charles Epee - Corporal (Heavy Machine Gunner)
A young French-speaker paradoxically from Flanders, he is small but surprisingly well built. He carries a Maschinengewehr-08, alongside his Browning Hi-Power and set of armour from the first world war's era.

3 Francois Voors - Corporal (Light Machine gunner)
Almost as paradoxic as Charles, Francois is a Dutch-speaker from Wallonia. He is a quite average man in both build and appearance. He is armed with a Hotchkiss-1914 machine gun, alongside his armour and Browning Hi-Power.

4 Karl Rotden - Private (Assistant Gunner)
Karl is from the small German speaking area in Belgium, but is ardently loyal to his Kingdom. He is armed with a Karabiner 1889: Engineer with a socket bayonet in it at all times.
5 Nicolet Morrois - Corporal (Grenadier)
Nicolet is a rather poor Walloon driven to joining the army for sustenance. He however swiftly rose through the ranks, and now carries a MP28 alongside three Mills bombs.
6 Albrecht Doonfasdt Private (Grenadier)
Albrecht is a quite old Fleming that was sick throughout most of the first world war. As such, the spry old chap sees it as his duty to repay his country by serving now. He carries a Karabiner 1889: Cavalry with a socket bayonet always on and three mills bombs.

7 Johannes Jacobs - Private (Sniper)
Johannes is a rather quiet, and introverted Fleming. He is however rather resourceful, and a great shot which is why he carries a Gewehr 1889 with a 3x telescopic sight and an FN: 1910.

8 Hermann Janssen - Private (Rifleman)
Herman is from a German speaking region in Belgium and is of more dubious allegiance, rumoured by his comrades to hold sympathies with the enemy. Nevertheless, he is sent to the front to fight with a Gewehr 1889 bearing a socket bayonet at all times.

9 Heinrich Declerq - Private (Rifleman)
A happy Walloon, he is quite a chubby middle aged conscript. However he shows promise with a steady hand when shooting and calmly reloading his Gewehr 1889 when under fire, and affixing his socket bayonet if so demanded.

10 Robert de Veld - Private (Rifleman)
de Veld is a Walloon from a prominent business owning family. Despite this, his fierce nationalist feeling made him join the army at once. Only now going to see his first combat, he eagerly awaits tasting kraut blood with his Gewehr 1889 and more than willing to charge the enemy with his socket bayonet should his officer demand it.
