Howdy!  My girlfriend & her mother are going to open a Bed & Breakfast in France after the summer.  After I went to the Full Scale Assault Tournament yesterday, she's been talking about running Tournament/gaming weekends from their B&B in the Dordogne region of France.

I'd be more than happy to organise such events  :) , but what I've been talking with her about is whether anyone would be willing to pay 2-3 nights B&B, plus flights/transport, for a weekend of Epic (or other games)?  Obviously this is may appeal more to European based gamers than elsewhere - sorry everyone else! :down:

I just want to see how crazy her idea is... :laugh:

Thanks for looking! :cool:

My wife might be interested - if she gets at least a week's holiday after I have my fun at the tourney! It would cost me somewhere over 300Euros to get there. So in my case, it would have to be a one-off.

As above would have to expand it into a longer break but I would be up for it.

Problem though the wife doesn't fly. :angry:

Might have to stop spending money on models and save up for a new car. :(

I'd like to change the italicized to "my girlfriend and I " for your sake. It would make me feel better for you as part of the guy's team.

Francois is a great guy.

So is Stephane.

There are lots of Epic players in France. The idea isn't so crazy. It's more than feasible that you could get a game going.

Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Thanks for that, Maksim!  Although technically, the house is going to be in my girlfriend's & her other's name - but when I graduate and start earning (should I put 'find a job' first  ???  :laugh: ) I'll be contributing to the mortgage for the place, so I'll be able to stake some sort of claim such as that on it...  :;):

I will bear in mind the existing French Epic gaming community - I should imagine it'll be easier for them to make it to our B&B!

As for what form these gaming 'holidays' will take, it depends on how long people want to stay for.  I could fit something in to a long weekend (2-3 days worth), although most of those responding to this seem to prefer the idea of making it a holiday with the family/spouse.  Of course, there's plenty of fantastic/pituresque historical places to visit in the area, so family wouldn't get bored while you're playing Epic...

Thanks for the interest and responses guys, I'll keep you posted when things get moving...  :blues:

Hi,

I'll drop a word on the Warmania forum where there are several active Epic gamers (including Fran?ois from La Tribune de Laitus Prime).

I for one would be interested.  :D

Salut ? tous,

I've discovered this topic thanks to Hojyn.  :)

The idea is great.

As Dordogne is a beautiful area you could even think about a tournament on more than 2 days in order to alternate battles and activities in the region. This way the participants could come with their wife/husband for example... But this is a very ambitious project...  :laugh:
