Another new idea, Hudson's Bay vs Northwest trading company Battle of 7 Oaks, 1821

One of the interesting scenarios and conflicts which I have read about was the violent rivarly between these 2 fur trading companies.
The Northwest Company had been built by investors in Montreal, and may have had a prevelance of French speaking members while the Hudson's Bay company were an English speaking company, and who had a longer established relationship with the first nations peoples in the region.
I have several metal and plastic figures which could be used as fur traders.
