The Royal Writ News

[h3]Remember this painting from the main menu?[/h3][p][/p][p]Have you ever looked at it and wondered why it looks so familiar?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Well, this painting is also based on a real one - George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River! This event occurred on the night of December 25th - 26th, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War. It was the first move in a complex and surprise military manoeuvre organized by George Washington, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. Here's the existing painting below![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]There are so many IRL inspirations in this game! We've mentioned some of them in previous From the Court editions, but do you think you can spot any more?[/p][h3][/h3]
