Sounds great - where do I sign up?!

Well, it's not ready yet, I still need 2-3 years of work. I plan to do it in Saumur, a small but very touristic city on the Loire valley, near the famous castles of the Loire. There is the French armour museum, one of the biggest in the world with Bovington and Kubinka, the cavalry museum and the Cadres Noir, keeping the tradition of the French cavalry by organizing regular shows. It's also famous for the wine 'Saumur Champigny'. I own a house there and plan to leave China to establish the wargaming center I spoke about with 10mm miniatures as the standard scale. You can come by car or train from the UK, there is just a change of station in Paris to do.

This is the first time I have seen this sort of thing; i.e. using actual maps to game on and it is a fascinating concept! Especially for historical match ups where the participants know the history of the encounter and can enjoy all the little terrain details etc. being 100% accurate. Top stuff.
