    I am an awful photographer. Besides, I just use a lousy phone. Anyway, for those of you on Facebook:
    https://www.facebook.com/andrea.angi...c_location=ufi

    I just want to show here a little detail of one. I received the honor of being admitted to the Order of the Bulldog by the British Wing. But how many did notice the bulldog statue at the Warboss shop where we played a few hours after, on Saturday? You can see it just besides Neil.

    Some of you already started posting photos on BoardGameGeek. I suggest others to do the same - it's a great showcase for the event, for your inventive scenarios and of course for the games themselves.

    This was even before a very meaningful event - I prudently proposed that an explosion was worth half the original damage points of a plane, to avoid sudden eliminations. But this did not save me when I was shot at short range and I had to draw two damage cards.

    This reminds me of my I-16 in the Spanish Civil War scenario at the start of the Con. I took a few damages. Then Markus shot me for a little jellowish counter of damage. I took it. Before it was showed, he said "boom" in a low matter-of-factish tone. I looked at it - It was an explosion.

    I guess that, when the designer that put those in the decks draws a few of them, many players all over the world feel vindicated.

    Not at all.
    Only when the game is poorly designed.
    When the game is good, good players only feel the balance that sets it right.

    My second scenario for Prague Summer Con: In the Eye of the Storm

    I had a blast with the players that played it with me.

    You can find it here in a thread in the forum or in the Blog

    This scenario makes part of my ongoing (now not so) solo campaign The Kindness of Strangers.

    The photos were taken by Camille, Martin and Andrea.
    Thank you for letting me use them.

    It was an amazing experience to mingle my solo games with a CON scenario.
    I think that (if the organizers allow me) I will repeat it next year.

    By the way, look on the photo with a tower in night. The tower is on one end of Charles Bridge, but interesting fact is, that the weird green light from lamps is because gas. There are all lamps along the Royal Road (to the Castle) powered by gas and you even meet a lamp man (is it correct?) who turn them on and off every evening and morning
