I assume the orthodox pieces move as in standard Chess? If so, it would be beneficial to say that in the Pieces section.

To editors: just to be clear, I think this submission is ready.

Sorry, I should have been tired. I was confused because in the same time I have been looking at another (interesting) game with Frogs. But yours are with Dragons, sorry sorry. I like your Dragon. Happy Christmas Kevin.

To editors: just to be clear, I think this submission is ready.

No, the animal pieces in this game are dragons not frogs. Anyway, I wouldn't think of such a thing, my family name being Norman (plus myself being born in France). :)

I should wish you and everyone else Season's Greetings and Happy New Year, before the day is done!

Yes, excellent in your context!

As we are talking about words, in French "campagne", which has the same root than "champagne", means both "country side" and "campaign", the latter having a military sense in some context.

Just a last question: is it the presence of Frogs that let you search for a French name?

True. Here's another source for the word Champaign that I had first intended to use (includes the notion of a battlefield); Champagne in one sense meant similarly, it seems, from edit3 in my previous post:

Well, I don't know why you want something "old" French here.

When I said "champagne is not old French", I meant is not only old French. It is current French, that's what I meant, so no need to say "champagne is old French", just say "champagne is French". Imagine if I say, "York" is old English.

The wiki you mention explains all that very well: Borrowed from French champagne (“sparkling wine from the Champagne region”), from Champagne (“region and former province of France”)

Hi Jean-Louis.

I Googled the two spellings of the word long ago and got the meaning(s) and spellings(s), from a source(s) I forgot. If an editor is fussy, I can try to dig up the definitions again. Champagne also is a drink, I think, so I liked it for that reason too. Much as Eric Greenwood enjoyed the deliberate misspelling of his large board 'Renniassance Chess' variant.

[edit1: From Google: "Champaign. 1. extensive tract of level open land. synonyms : field." (Lan Geek)]

edit2: The best I can find for something in Old French at the moment is related to a rather expansive French region's name (the wiki spells it ChampaignE in Old French): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_of_Champagne

edit3: a wiki that calls Champagne Old French (under French: Etymology 2; P.S.: says champagne f (plural champagnes) (rare) an expanse of flat and open cultivated earth): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/champagne

Hi Kevin. "Champagne" is not old French. It is well used in modern French for both the luxury sparkling white wine and the region (from which that wine come).

But I don't see why you call your game like this. Why Champagne or Champaign would be suggest a wide board?

Apart from this, this game looks quite nice again.
