I just read 1632 (a small town in WV is picked up and dropped into 1632 Thuringia, hijinks ensue), and, hell, there's easily 50 named characters, and at least 8 POVs.
But, like, what, so I'm supposed to refer to every. single. character. as the gunner, the medic, the grenadier, the other squad's medic, the other squad's grenadier? wtf no. Coming up with names is a giant pain in the ass, but you have to do it, you know?
