*The Charge is probably based on the real-world [[wikipedia:Charge of the Light Brigade|Charge of the Light Brigade]] during the [[wikipedia:Crimean War|Crimean War]], in which an English brigade misunderstood its orders and charged a Russian redoubt containing an artillery battery. Like the fictional Gannack's Sentinel Troop, the Brigade was completely slaughtered.
