No need to say Prague is a beautiful city
We need to upgrade the list in the first post.

I'm in.
I am reporting for duty and looking forward to seeing you.
If I am not mistaken, Andrzej is probably too busy skiing with his family now, but I am sure he will update the list of participants soon.
However the summer is too far, and many things can change, I suppose, the same problem as last year - through the summer, I leave Prague for all weekends.
But...
I think, I'll be able to leave at friday late night. So, you can count with me for the friday session, if any take place.
Hi pilots,
I invite you into my shop. Room for playing is cca 60m2 large with about 6 tables (it is still under construction ). Wenn I finish arranging of room, I will post some pictures.
Beer: In shop is small kitchen, but with fridge for couple of beer
Cash: Unfortunately you must pay for minis in cash, but near to shop are ATM.
Connection: It is about 20 minutes with one transfer between lines (subway to tram).
There you have it, gentlemen, you get to see it with your own eyes. This is the very fellow that is kindly going to host the event in his shop. The same man who kindly opened his shop just for us on Sunday last year.
The shop has moved to much better premises and let me assure you that the gaming room is awesome, we had a gaming session there last Tuesday and hopefully we are going to meet there tommorow too.
Btw. Andrzej,
I see, that you are from Opole. Did you know Monika Kucharska ?
Perfect! Cash isn't a problem if a money automat is in range.
...and it would be cool if we can store some beer in your fridge. The only way to keep the moral high when Polish and Czech pilots perforate my planes.
Thank you for the contact & organization of this nice gaming place, Jan.
This is the perfect place for our SummerCon13.
I agree with Sven that we have found a perfect place for our games
@Ladinek: I know Iwona Kucharska from Opole, but not Monika. Unfortunately Kucharska/Kucharski is a very popular family name here Anyway, nice you know anyone from my hometown See you in Praha!

*pokes Andrzej*
How about an update of the list of participants?
The list has just been updated, dear Jan
We are growing in numbers! Jan and other chaps: we should predesign some scenarios to have the games organized in advance, do not you think? What about having different mats/theatres on different tables to run games paralelly?
Indeed. I am already preparing a short campaign for WGF.
I cannot offer anything concerning WWII, since I do not own anything from WGS. I hope Radek (Shivaja) is going to register too, I have not seen him for ages. I would like to ask if someone can help me and plan something for WGS.
I am going to create a Google spreadsheet later, so that participants can fill in which blocks they wish to participate in. Svět deskových her gaming club has 5-6 gaming tables, giving us as much room to play as we may possibly need. I am thinking of creating a section in that spreadsheet where participants can list what do they plan to bring with them so that we know our options.
Good thing is that we should be able to have some scenarios prepared on tables and move between them, since we are definitely going to have enough maps, airplanes and balloons to allow this. It would save us a lot of time if we can avoid lengthy preparations of each table before each game.
Think we've got all the gaming mats we need for enogh WW I & WW II scenarios.
I'll bring the BoB mat with me & I hope Andrzej brings his nice Tarawan mat. Additionaly I hope for the new gamings mats till July, too. It's a variable terrain for Europe & Eastern Front scenarios.
To create a few WW II sceanrios or a little campain shouldn't be a problem, especially for BoB. (dogfight, Stuka channel/ship bombing, heavy bomber raid, etc...) The same counts for the Pacific.
Another points are the special models we have. Maybe we've got some scratch builds (Caproni Ca.4) or unofficial miniatures (Kate torpedo bombers, JU 52, Dakotas) this year too. It would be fun to play some missions with this eye catchers.
If needed I can work out a few missions for WW II.
Each scenario takes it's time and with 6 - 8 players per table we have a lot of fun.
Depending on the miniatures we had last year, most of gamers doesn't need to bring their whole stuff to the Summer Con. Just their favourite planes, cockpits, etc...

I will bring the Tarawa mat and a felt desert mat with scattered rocks about the same size as Tarawa
*bump*
Those of you who participated last year, could you check your C manoeuvre decks, please? I recently accommodated all my miniatures in Feldherr trays and all manouevre decks in plastic bags and I seem to have one extra 4/22 AP card (90° right turn) and nobody seems to be missing that card here.
I will, Jan. This is why we all should mark our cards for the next Con. Thanks for the input.
My official revival shirt for the SummerCon2013:
Oh, that is VERY cool! Ausgezeichnet, Wingman!
Just to fuel your anxiety, let me officially announce that thanks to Dave's (and his elves') generosity you are going to see this big boy on the table in July:
Dave is so awesome and generous that he sent this to me as a birthday gift (still 22 days to go ). That is, for free, so that I can use it with you all during Prague Summer Con.
Cheers for Dave and his elves!
Prepare yourselves to face its whopping machine gun posts (yeah, B, not A, but still...).
That is magnificent Jan.
Dave is not only very talented but also very generous.
Rob.
What a perfect gift, Jan! The plane is really huge! I think your A-H flights will have to tangle with it
By the way if nobody dares to pilot this beast I am stepping forward
To Dave "Elrond", the site's superhero
Nice...
What kind of scenarios can we fly with this beast (late or mid war)?
Does it fly for the Entente or Central Powers?
By the way: It seems that finally one of my gaming buddies will join us in Prague.
Sven, it flies for the Imperial Russian Air Fleet and bears roundels, which puts it against the airplanes with crosses.
Originally a civil airliner, it flew in military service from 1914 to 1918 (and even later). During the whole war these bombers scored 12 confirmed scout kills, while only suffering a single loss.
One notable fight happened when four Fokker A.III's attacked one of these beasts. It sent three of them down and the last attacker limped to base seriously damaged. The only Ilya Muromets shot down was in an unlucky engagement with four Albatros scouts in 1916. This airplane had a reputation of indestructible machine, often returning to base gravely damaged, but still returning. The engines and fuel tanks were armoured and the aircraft was exceptionally durable.

I'd like to announce the arrival of another Polish airman, Marek (another Marek). A complete newbie, freshman, green pilot whom I will try to teach the basics of playing/flying WGF/WGS in the coming months.
He and his family already made a reservation at Hotel Bologna.
He is eager to fly, but hope he will not become a cannon fodder
Hey, cannon fodder is my job!
He has to look for another part at our SummerCon!
I know, you want him to draw enemy fire
There is a little chance that I will join you for Saturday morning and may be for part of evening... Nothing confirmed, but it looks good.
Good news, Daniel!
Sounds really good! It's really annoying we have not meet each other yet
The Bierkrug arrived in Zirndorf.
I would be happy if we could use this for the first price, if everyone is ok with this proposal...
Another point will be the finding of the best/most successfull pilot.
I'm shure we could man more than one table with our missions this time.

Excellent First Prize, Sven!
What a superb looking Stein Sven.
Oh heck! we have set Kyte off again.
Rob.
Very nice, Sven.
One of the other prizes will be a Gotha G.V from Ares.
What a nice mug Sven!
I am officially in! And my SWMBO, Jelena. She will play, too.
Looking forward to see you
