The frozen grass crunches under booted feet, each step a sharp crack in the pre-dawn silence. A low mist clings to the undulating hills, painted orange by a sun barely risen. Three figures move as one along the camp's outer perimeter: General George Washington, his towering frame wrapped in a greatcoat; beside him, the slight, intense Alexander Hamilton; and the Marquis de Lafayette, his dark curls pulled tight beneath his tricorn. Washington's blue eyes sweep the horizon, searching for any flash of red among the grey. He pauses, turning his gaze to you with a measured, solemn look. 'You see anything out there, soldier?' he asks, his voice low and steady, cutting through the cold air.
