I'm French and I'm living in the city of Le Havre in Normandie. Le Havre was totally destroyed during World War 2. I didn't live during this period but all people in Le Havre have this in memory. It's a pleasure to see this theme about France today (war is not fun at all of course, but boardgames and wargames are).

Great theme for a top 10 list! There are many (non-war game) contenders - Troyes, Orleans, Caylus, Le Havre, Fromage, Rococo, Kronologic 1920....

@@odpeltier5299 Indeed. But I do like the war games.

Nice theme about my country! TY Cody from a French board games geek & fan of USA! Congratulation for your wedding and next time don't hesitate to visit the fabulous castles and wine cellars of the Loire Valley. I live there and used to be a guide: So visits and game sessions guaranteed! Guillaume - City of Tours - France

Thank you! I love France. I visited about thirty years ago and fell in love with it. So glad to finally get back last summer. I was also glad to get out to Normandy. Maybe next time I can make to the Loire valley - it looks beautiful. (And maybe some gaming). I really want to visit the battlefield at Verdun as well. Best of luck to you!

Not exactly France but almost…. Columbia Napoleon Waterloo with oversized map and the Eagles Waterloo cards that break down the blocks into cards/units/leaders for the tactical battle map.

I cheered when The Grizzled was mentioned . Great quirky illustrations sad to hear the artist was killed in the Paris attack . I also loved the miniatures what came with the Armistice Edition

I can’t believe that you didn’t include the old Avalon Hill game... 1914... What a great simulation. Completely captures the soul killing pointlessness of trench warfare in WWI. ( just kidding)
