Great job Vincent to taking some times to take care of this beautiful hobby and passion that is Subbuteo. I rediscover this sports after 28 years of absence and i can imagine that this game (if it is well selled and have some good publicity) can be extremely popular and also can offer a lot of possibiities. You can make an american football game, as well as baseball and even more ice hockey. What do you think of that?
