I hope I will be able to engage you in my ground attack mission with panzerknackers and Lend Lease Airacobras defending waves of soviet T-34s...
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
I'm curious for your mission(s), dear friend.
By the way: I asked Markus & Mario for voting and showed them the path for the vote, but I think they will play whatever we offer to play.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
I will do my best in that project and hope to entertain the pilots with a FFF mission. Fun, Fast and Furious with an exceptional role of both sides' flight commanders to recreate some decisive moments of the battle. Be sure to have some 88 flak miniatures in action...I'm curious for your mission(s), dear friend.

Andy we can use flak minis from A&A series or such.
In case we don't have enough WWI missions, i suggest Nightbomber can host the mission from the last con - the one where he used the poker cards if you remember. That was a lot of fun.
If I remember well, there was Andrzej's idea of repainted minis battle. Andrzej?
I can offer 3 Soviet and 3 Polish Nieuports for both purposes
My friends,
Few months ago, I declared the idea about the painting contest for the participants of the Prague Con 2015.
Some of you welcomed this idea with enthusiasm.
Now I'd like to announce that I found few pretty little things, that will be perfect prices for the contest like this.
Here are the rules for the painting contest for this year:
It must be a repaint of the official model by Nexus or Ares. WWI or WWII does not matter.
Only one model per participant for the contest.
The winner of this year will be honored to set the rules for the next year.
I will gladly be a GM in all of my games.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
So we produce a repaint and bring it to the Summer Con?
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
The only repaint I could maybe try, with some difficulties, would be Goering's D.VII. But it is already in the official range.
Kubajs, I'm happy to donate a 'Red Baron' Snoopy on doghouse as a prize.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Just try another shade of white and if your painting is a bit messy, the judges will not recognise it as a DV.II anyway.
Nice one Angiolillo
No Shapeway's repaint? I have much of those
Win the contest Nemanja and next year we're all going to make Shapeways repaints.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Worth of trying, but easy to say, Sven
Does this exclude conversions of official models, along the lines of: "how many guns can you stuff into the front of a B25"?
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
I believe the conversion are fine. But the final word for this year's contest is up on Kubajs.
Guys i would like to encourage you to vote for missions you would like to attend.
The poll is here: http://doodle.com/bn2xrqv5yvhst62n
To know what you want in advance helps us to prepare the Con to your best expecations
Thank you.
Voted, Honzo
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Voted.
...I don't think that we can expect votings from them. They're not connected to the Aerodrome....
By the way: I asked Markus & Mario for voting and showed them the path for the vote, but I think they will play whatever we offer to play.
Maybe we should start a poll who has voted sor far?
Daniel/Honza maybe you can extract something from the seven votings?
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Me, you, Honza, Kubajs, Steve, Andrzej, Nemanja.
There is at least 5 czechs who will vote soon. Also Thunderbolt and other guys.
Let's wait till next week or so and then close it up.
Jan, are you in touch with Thunderbolt? I sent him a PM a long ago - but have not got any answer so far...
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Hmm, i am not, he hasn't been here for 2 months. I hope he is all right.
Sounds great! Thank you.
I have no problems with any conversions.Does this exclude conversions of official models, along the lines of: "how many guns can you stuff into the front of a B25"?
Its not necessary to make it now. I would prefer works of the last year, but its not necessary too.So we produce a repaint and bring it to the Summer Con?
Sorry, Nemanja. May be next year.No Shapeway's repaint? I have much of those
All right, 10 people have voted, and i have sent a few messages to remind our fellows who haven't voted yet. I guess we can get as much as 6-7 more votes, knock it off, make it public and move on
Voters: Sven, Nemanja, Andrzej, Zdenek, Steve, Honza, Kubajs, Lukas, me (some people voted twice same missions).
So yet Viktor dad&son, Slavek, Michal and Sasa at least, and we can make it public and move on.
EDIT: Michal has voted under his forum name as Brouk Pytlik.

5 weeks left.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
You are right5 weeks left.
Unfortunately, Rafal's and his son's participations must be canceled - they can not come to Prague. Battle of Rhetymno would be under Andrzej's command.
Right. Rafał called me today and was really sorry they can not come, but asked me kindly if I would run his game for the others. I agreed, so if only we have time and table - we can give it a go.
And BTW: my group is gathering for testing my EF mission on Saturday afternoon.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Bad news.
Ok, let's see what the voting result will be.
Maybe we have a host and a non-elected mission for a replacement of the Crete mission.
Thank you Andrzej for your readiness to host the game.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Voted for scenarios. A hard choice indeed!

Our man Michal has been preparing a Finland war mission, and he has been painting a bunch of AIM models for that. The mission was omitted by mistake, however i called him, and he is fine with it as another possible replacement mission. I would wait with the results yet. There is still 2-3 people who want to vote.
12 votersxin this moment. I think 15 is a nice goal.
I think you may be interested in this, chaps...

"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Vaclav Havel Airport -> Residence Bologna (Konviktska 5, Old Town):
On the Airport buy a ticket for 32 CZK and catch bus No.119 on the bus stop and go to the terminus station "Nadrazi Veleslavin". When you arrive at "Nadrazi Veleslavin", go into the metro station and go by metro A in direction "Depo Hostivar". The fourth station is "Malostranska" - leave the train here go up and find the tram No. 22 (direction to "Nadrazi Hostivar") and go to the tram stop "Narodni divadlo" (National Theatre). The last part you must go on foot.

Residence Bologna (Konviktska 5, Old Town) -> Prague Con place (Zitomirska 30, Vrsovice):
For this route you can buy just 24 CZK ticket. Go to the tram stop "Narodni divadlo" and catch the tram No.22 (direction "Nadrazi Hostivar"). When you reach the stop "Vrsovicke namesti" (after aprox. 15 minutes), leave the tram, turn the first street left and go up to the second street to shop on the corner (Svet deskovych her, big windows).

Vaclav Havel Airport -> Botel Racek (Praha - Podoli):
On the Airport buy a ticket for 32 CZK and catch bus No.119 on the bus stop and go to the terminus station "Nadrazi Veleslavin". When you arrive at "Nadrazi Veleslavin", go into the metro station and go by metro A in direction "Depo Hostivar". The fifth station is "Staromestska" - leave the train here go up and find the tram No. 17 (direction to "Sidliste Modrany"). After aprox. 11 minutes in tram, you will stop at "Kublov". The last part you must go on foot.
(map of the route from tram stop)
Botel Racek (Praha - Podoli) -> Prague Con place (Zitomirska 30, Vrsovice):
For this journey, you need just 24 CZK ticket, but the planned time is exactly 30 minutes (the time of 24 CZK ticket), so I recommend buy a 32 CZK ticket for sure.
Go the the "Kublov" stop and catch the tram No.3 (direction to "Vozovna Kobylisy") and go to the stop "Karlovo namesti" (a big Square with park). When you will be there, leave the tram and go down to the underpass and immediately up (you need to cross the road). Here, catch the tram No.22 (direction "Nadrazi Hostivar"). When you reach the stop "Vrsovicke namesti" (after aprox. 11 minutes), leave the tram, turn the first street left and go up to the second street to shop on the corner (Svet deskovych her, big windows).

That's very useful Daniel, thanks
Any thoughts on Botel Racek to the aviation museum please?
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
There are several options. The most natural is catching the red C line of metro (tram no. 3 to station "Florenc") and go via metro to the last station of the line - "Letnany". There is a bus stop for bus no. 185 (direction to "Bakovska") and get out in bus stop "Letecke muzeum".
This one is, IMHO, the easiest.
PS: In weekdays onle every second train goes to Letnany. The others are ending on Ladvi. In this case you just stay there and wait for the next train
Brilliant! Thanks Daniel.

1) Seems we'll get no more votes.
2) Comrades, what about Saturday evenig?
I know that Watchdog discovered 2013 a pub that did not close doors at 11:00 pm.
We need a cunning plan.
3 )How's the situatiuon with the gaming mats? I need coast, country and city for my bombing raid (if we play the Augsburg raid) and coast & city for Capronis's revenge. Maybe we can organize the games, so that we have no supply problems.
4) Did Ladinek have the series 8 WGF planes? I want to invest some Czech Crowns in Prague.
5) I still have a Caproni Ca.3 bomber as a prize for the tournament. The bomber is a present from our friend 7eat51 especially for the Summer Con.
6) My god it's really time to meet you again, my friends!
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
I echo all of the above, especially points 2 and 4!
Mats: I will bring a felt desert mat (180/90) and a plain green large original Citadel mat (180/120) for EF scenario.
Of course anybody is encouraged to bring some prizes.
