If you know the series well, we can spend more time comparing the familiar scenes with the real locations.<\/p>\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\">\n<summary>Can we visit the Crossroads battlefield?<\/summary>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.
