Promotion of our B and B L'hotel de Hercé.Storage cabinets have been purchased to speed up things. I will have help from two friends on this, Bill and Micheal, one builder and one cabinet maker should help speed things along. In each table shelves, drawers, cupboards and a storage lip for cups, dice and rulers etc. Purpose built wargames table, one 9ft and two 5ft tables, on coasters so it can be shuffled around the room as required.The room measures 6.4m x 5.2m (21ft x 17ft)at the shortest length and width, heaters, fireplace and two french juilet balconies with a great view of the 16th century Chateau opposite. The paint scheme has been selected with a mix of three greys.
On the workbench in 2019, the future view from the Salon de Guerre when it is completed! I also want to post more regularly on my two blogs Storm and Conquest and my ww2 Kampfgruppe Willow, French Wargames Holidays Facebook account, French Wargame Holidays Instagram and make a few more tutorial terrain videos and Wargames holiday tour videos, all posted on the L'Hotel de Hercé youtube account. I am focused on what I want achieve, as I have set a high wargaming standard for the business. I have resisted over reaching myself this year, only 12 projects in total for each category, a majority of it is the already built, and some is part painted, part built and just needs details added. Specifically medieval armorials for the English, French and Breton knights post Agincourt, and my ww2 collection.
I will throughout this year continue to add to the armies to enlarge them and become more specific and small detail focused, particularly when it comes to units and personalities. We have all the figures completed ready for people to play with for our current tour and wargame offerings. This year we have a few main items on the agenda, the consolidation of our " Walk the Battlefield in the Morning, Wargame in the Afternoon" tours, the continued renovation of L'hotel de Hercé, the new Wargames salon (the Salon de Guerre) on the second floor and building the new main permanent table within. I also look a what I would like to do and achieve this year personally, and goals for my hobby. As always I need to look at my priorities for the business to operate effectively, what is required for the growth of the business and make sure we are in profit also. I have had the opportunity this week to sit down and write out my goals and what I would like to achieve for 2020, both in the business and personally. The rise of 2020 a truly upon us, Christmas is complete with lots of nice presents for me and the Family has returned to Australia after their holiday in France with us.
