Thread: Prague Summer Con 2016

    Sven's post about SoG made me think about "Winter Is Coming" scenario which gives much more opportunity to the Fin player to score a kill(s) than it gives to Soviet player, thus perhaps giving dis-advantage to Soviet players when it comes to Tournament Points. Bear in mind all Fins are Aces and DON'T RESURRECT (thus giving limited number of TPs to the opponent) , and Soviet all start as Rookies and DO RESURRECT (giving unlimited number of TPs to the opponent).

    So, we have two options:

    1) To leave it what it is. So 1 kill = 1 Tournament Point, but players are delegated to either side randomly (Life Isn't Fair method).

    2) To change Tournament Point scoring system for this particular scenario. Scores rounded to the nearest full number (1.5 is 1 TP, 1.75 is 2 TPs, 2.25 is 2 TPs):
    - killing a Rookie 0,75 pts (killing 1 or 2 rookies will score 1 TP, killing 3 will score 2 TPs, killing 4 will score 3 TPs etc.)
    - killing "regular" pilot 1 pt
    - killing an ace 1,5 pts (killing 1 Ace will score 1 TP - which is most likely to happen - but killing 2 Aces will score 3 TPs etc.),

    making TP scoring more fair. If necessary, respective tokens could be given for each kill scored, to make calculation easier.

    As an organizer: 1)
    Please, do not complicate counting with fractions of kills.

  3. #603

    Default

    As GM, I would take care of calculating scores and provide organizers with full Tournament Points, with no fractions whatsoever.
    So, no organizational issues, only point of view.

    If it is my call, I would choose option 2. but it isn't, that's why I'm asking about that.

    For running Con Ace Contest I need these three things:
    1. Names of the members of the winning team.
    2. Numbers of victories for every player in mission.
    3. Number of goal points for every player in mission.

    If you want to use fractions for resulting which team won, it is OK - you are the GM and the whole mission is in your hands. Just stay compatible with the rest of missions. That all what we need

    Having read Svens thread on the Swallows of Opole I would like to include the ME262's to my game if that is ok Andy?
    See you on the Dark Side......

  6. #606

    Just consider if it is not enough - Sven&Andrzej have Me.262s in their mission, Michal too (Pilsen), this would be a third mission with Schwalbes. Personally, I have nothing agains the idea, just giving you all information that I have.

    It all depends on availability of aircraft (models).

    Do we have enough FW190's and P51's for up to 18 players?

    We can try! But of course Daniel has the casting vote in that matter. Me 262s would bring a fresh whiiiiiizzzzzzing breeze in our WGS games and possibly incite ARES...

    I believe it is possible - I have 2+2, Kubajs have some and Michal he's plenty of them. Wait for the list - I urged it today personally

    If needed, I've got 190As, 109 G & Ks and Ta152s. Do you want a couple of Bachum Natters, Arado 234s or cannon-armed 262s to liven up the proceedings?

    Due to Salute falling through for my club (long story), in the words of Jeremy Clarkson in his Amazon Fire TV advert: "I have suddenly become unbusy" so could get a few planes painted, whatever's needed to fill gaps.

    Might even get a Camel painted Sven

    There are 281 models for WWI and 271 models for WWII.
    And it's still not enough...

    Some WWII planes are not in the list, because they are now in production by Michal (BroukPytlik).
    Me.410 and Me.109K as an example.

    We'll depart Sunday at 1810h, so this year we're not in a hurry for the "try a new game" part at Sunday afternoon.

    We reduce the cultural part on the fantastic Bohemian food & beer before invading Lada's shop.

    ...but the army museum and the resistance museum are on my agenda. Maybe 2017.




    By the way Czech comrades: Do you think on a reservation in a restaurant to stay for the Saturday evening dinner?

    What about Friday evening? Will we stay in the usual beer pub near Lada's old shop?

    For saturday evening we are thinking about the social dinner for the whole company in hotel Mars restaurant.
    But I did not speak with the manager yet.

    For friday evening we are looking for some pub closer to the new place. We will tell you more about our research later

    Could this be a new Ace Skil. Whisky +1 reduces pilot damage by -1 .
    Similar to that Ace Skill used by FOK with Gin

    Gentlemen,
    my recent propaganda and enlistment action succeeded. I am bringing 4 pilots with me from Opole Flight: Arek, Kuba, Andrzej and Wiktor. The latter two are real veterans and Wiktor is 2013 Con Ace of Aces.
    Counting Paul (tikkifriend) and his wife that will be escorted from Opole - I must say we are coming in force!

    A honour for Mary and myself to be escorted to Prague by my friend Andy and his Flight .

    That would be my first choice of a reward but, as the miles between prevent me from sharing in such libations face-to-face, I'll have to settle for a salvo of REP and joining you in a toast in absentia.

    So we have 35 registered players at the moment.

    Maybe we need a permanent 3rd table.





    ...Dan-Sam, Kubajs, Nightbomber:

    I think we need a little brainstorming, how to handle a third table, equip it with one or two GMs that can communicate in Czech/English and simultaneously not to splinter the two main tables but be attractive enough for a comparable gaming.

    I'll contact you per PM (today or tomorrow).

    Sorry, still on holidays in hearth of mountains without signal. I will solve it after Sunday.
    I do not expect any changes in campaign. I prefer the solution with third skirmish table (players plays, players leads the game). We will see if there will be a bough space.
    Please, check the timetable: one mission is two hours, not one and half.

    Two hours - now I see clearly.


    No reason to hesitate, Dan-Sam. We have enough time to sort things out.


    Enjoy your vacation.
