INDEFINITE HIATUS----The Front Lines: A Battlefield 1 Machinima

Project Overview

The Front Lines is a Machinima about Battlefield delving into the psyche of the soldiers and how war affects each character.

Currently the roles of Jeremy Fisher, the Midwestern tank engineer, Phil Thorn, the New York heavy weapons expert, Tom Bowie, the British Major, Wilhelm II, the Kaiser of Germany are filled and Amdt Biermann, general of the German army and the Kaiser's personal bodyguard.

He has a 21 year old son named Collin Ramsey who is currently in basic training and a wife named Shelly Ramsey. He is seen as a father figure amongst the unit due to his age and his kind personality. He isn't afraid to kill anyone attacking his unit and is willing to sacrifice himself to help them. Thomas only swears while he is incredibly angry.

  • Private what have I told you about yelling! We are in enemy territory. If a soldier hears us we might be goners. Where is Brigadier Lawrence?


  • Freeze kraut!
