    The things have been sorted so now let me present the special gifts I was given during the Con by user Пилот - Nemanja.
    Two painted models of the famous Yougoslav fighter aircraft IK-3 - with bases, cards and maneuvers decks. What a superb surprise!
    Thank you again old Friend! You will see them in action soon, I swear!

    Great AAR!

    Rob, Lada had magic box in the kitchen, full with beer

    Btw, Zdenek's wife made great pel'meni (those little biscuits with cracklings), brilliant beer snack!

    Yes thank you for the great food you brought to the Con. It was really tasty.

    I think next year I'll supply the Con with German smocked sausage from Nürnberg and a German dark bread.




    What I forgot to comment is, that I really liked the point system of the Summer Con. No matter what mission and what WW you played, you ever had the chance to raise your points by winning the scenario or to shoot down enemy planes.

    Of course it is not.
    Actually, WoG games held there are just breaks between many libations.

    Point system actually was very good one, indeed. You could get "personal" and "team" points, which were summed together. And I believe team points brought additional motivation to fulfill given tasks.

    Also, I didn't properly thank Andzej for presenting me very good board game 303 - Battle of Britain

    You are welcome Heмaњa. The game is an official product of our "Institute of National Memory", a small but a smart one with nice wooden dice. Well suited as a short intro into BoB.

    Below you cansee it in XXXL size being played inone of the schools down here.

    I do echo your opinion about the point system, emphasizng the team spirit and common goals.

    So here are my new Summer Con planes.

    The Sopwith Camel was my repaint entry for the contest.

    The Serbian Messerschmitt was a gift from my friend Nemanja. I upgraded it with plane card from the "Eagles of the Reich" booster. Now it's the plane of Kapetani I Klase Miho Klavora from 103. Lovacka Eskadrila.

    The Finish Gloster Gladiator is a former Mk.I (Krohn). Now it serves with self made Finish markings, a present from Michal, a Czech gamer. The airplane card came from "the Last Biplanes" booster and the Gladiator belongs to Luutnanti Jorn Juul Ulrich from Lentolaivue 26.



    Sopwith Camel, 'B' Flight 10 Squadron RNAS, France 1917-1918



    The Gloster Gladiator.

    The Norwegian miniature is perfect for repaints. You get original airplane cards from the old card boosters and the result is very nice. Maybe I repaint another one with Soviet markings, but I'm not willing to pay 8 € + shipping cost for some Soviet decals at the moment.

    Sorry, if I post this here, but we have a post Prague Con PM exchange about a Russian Gloster Gladiator and I can't reach Nemanja.

    Hello Honza!

    I maybe found them in USA. Do you still need them? Do you have a postal address where I can send them?

    Hi Andrea, i don't need them anymore because Rob was so very kind to send me the whole token frame. Thank you very much for trying to help me though

    Good to know, and sorry if I took so long!
    In any case, if you want to complete your previous set just let me know - it can be useful anyway to play with more planes.
    See you in Prague I hope, even if I saw that the days' choice has been unluckly different from the availability you gave.

    Unlucky timing.

    Sometimes you need to set priorities and family goes first.

    I hope you can join us for a few drinks, Honza.
