Just tidying / updating this thread.
For no apparent reason...
In previous LPLs we have tried to evenly blend historical, non-historical and generic (something that could apply equally to historical or non-historical) themes.
The tally of bonus round themes by type is:
- 8 historical (if we count Back of Beyond as historical)
- 10 fantasy / sci-fi / horror
- 9 generic: could be historical or non-historical
To whit:
Africa (S5R5)
Animals (S9R5)
Armour (S9R1)
Back of Beyond (S2R10)
Civilians and bystanders (S5R1)
