"The Battle of Sainte Foy, 28th April 1760" Topic

Last weekend I had the pleasure of joining friends for an annual gathering to a play an historical battle from the annals of history, with our theme this year focused on the lesser known Battle of Sainte Foy, 28th April 1760, that concluded the struggle for control of North America between Great Britain and France, later referred to as the French Indian War, during the Seven Years War.

As in the original affair our game produced an intense struggle between the opposing factions, and more importantly a lot of fun recreating this battle, one in a list of similar games we have enjoyed over the preceding years and also linked in this post.

"In the West, the reception of the series was warm, especially in the United Kingdom. British critics have pointed out that the creators of the series have treated the original source with due care and respect, and have successfully transferred the atmosphere of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works. In 2006, Vasily Livanov became an Honorary MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) – "For service to the theater and performing arts".

That looks like fun.

I'm watching the series from the 2010s with Cumberbatch and Freeman now. Maybe I'll do the Soviet series next.
