I think Sven, Thomas and me will be stationed at Botel Racek which provides a qood quality/service/price ratio with a free parking lot (for me
and access to public transportation, but it is not a cosy place at all. However the first-timers would be pleased to stay in a convenient hotel in the heart of the town. Bologna Residence at Konviktska street (I stayed there twice with my family) is a very good place if you want to spend some time sightseeing. So if you (UK Wingmen) want to spend some time painting the town red [couh...cough...]
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Talked to my comrades and you can enlist Markus (well known from 2013) and Mario.
Both are gaming buddies from my Axis & Allies gamegroup and want to come to Prague in 2015.
For the choosen date, they have to obey the vacancy stop from end of May to mid June, too.
The weekend 15. - 17. May would be best, because the weekend before the circumstances are not that optimal.
In general I would prefer a "warm" May/June/July Summer Con not a "cold" April or March Con.
Anybody heared something from Watchdog?
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
I'm trying to recruit more pilots from Serbia for 2015 Con. We shall see...
For now, any February and April seems fine. First May weekend disqualifies Jelena, second May weekend disqualifies both Jelena and me. And we are also more prone to June or July, if possible.
Let me point some notes about accomodation:
- LGS, where Con will be, is not in the city centre nor near river.
- Botels are very romantic, but you must use public transportation to get near LGS (32 CZK per 90 minutes [aprox 1 pound]).
- It is possible to find some cheap and clean ho(s)tel in walking distance (<15 minutes of walk). I found it for Nemanja and Rafal, they can share their experience.
- It is a good time now - almost all ho(s)tel are empty for the date, so we can find the best solution easily.
I every case, I will try to help you
I would go for point 3, Daniel
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
OK, it seems that the 15th-17th May is the best term. I sent and email to Thomas (Thomatchef) if there is really no chance to get here in this weekend. After receiwing his answer, I will confirm the date officially.Talked to my comrades and you can enlist Markus (well known from 2013) and Mario.

I met Watchdog about 9 months ago - he stopped playing WoG and started playing a fieldgame called Ingress. I prepared a nametag for him last time (just in case), but I doubt he will join us next year. But the hope dies as the last.
Of course, Racek is a good place and perfect starting point for visiting city centre (may be interesting for you ladies?).I would go for point 3, Daniel
I added both of them to the very first post.
Sven, can you tell me their usernames (if they have any) - I want to link them.
Definitely 15-17th May is a very good term, only if Thomas could join us. The Con would not be the same without him and his superb paintjobs.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Thank you.
The're not enlisted. Markus has a game mat and a WGF duel pack. Mario has no miniatures.
We're taking the bus from Nürnberg and will stay at Botel Racek again.
Didn't see Slavek (Jasuna Kozono) on the list of participants. I hope he joins us again.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Slavek comes to Lada's shop quite often, no worries.
I am preparing my huge Zeppelin mat for a massive Zeppelin hunt scenario...
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Slavek not mentioned it here and I did not meet him since start of planning. I will add him today.
I am working on a new cockpit board design with some Zeppelin terror flavour.
The three Huns will volunteer to operate the gunner positions.
Kapitänleutnant Schneider at your service.

Super! See you in Prague my friends!
That is perfect! Great Thomas can join the gang
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
That's great! the whole gang together!
And some new faces.
Really looking forward.
Yesssss
Maybe we can organize a dambuster sidematch.
Did some solo flights and I'm positive amazed by the miniature, the rules and the maps.

Long time no see.
I have been awfully busy in my job and I had to concentrate on finishing the bachelor course at the Police Academy of the Czech Republic. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, that I have my university diploma, the bad news is, that the situation in my job has not changed much. Responsibility and hard work come hand-in-hand with promotions and being a Chief Commissioner is not really a walk in the park. At least I can now wear the rank insignia of Captain on my ceremonial police uniform.
Frankly, I have not really played WoG since the Prague Summer Con of 2013. I cannot promise anything, since duty comes first, but if possible, I would love to see you all in May.
Long time no see indeed! Nice to have you back here and congratulations both on diploma and promotion!
It would be even nicer to see you in person at Con 2015, so it's perhaps time to stop Dystopian Wars for a while, and fly historics during May
Well done Jan.
I'm sure we can all at least raise a glass to you in the Mess this evening.
It will be sad if you can't make it to the Con as i was hoping to meet you in person.
As it is I will take this opportunity to wish both you and your girlfriend a Happy 2015.
Rob.

Why the xxxx I missed this post?
Good to hear from you, wingman.
I hope we meet in Prague this year, as well for a beer only.

Hi guys
For the Con I want to develop one epic game about the evolution of the fighters on the Eastern front. For it I need more planes then I have – approximately 2,5 plane per player. I’m in connection with Andrzej, who has great collection, but few types I’m still missing.
Now I’m looking for Mig-3s and for some Russian fighters (even Lend-Lease planes) from the later stages of the war (La-5/7, Yak-9 etc.). Do you have some models ready to play? And if yes, could you, please, bring them with you, and borrow them for my scenario? Eventually, send me the statistics you use for the relevant planes.
Thanks
Yes, those late war fighters are missing.
I have expanded my EF collection of Soviet planes recently to I-16s and LL Airacobras (plus official Yak 1s), but none of those mentioned (La5/7 and Later Yaks).
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Frankly, since Yaks version 1b were in use in many units (1 Polish Fighter Regiment included) till the end of the war we may use these models even in the late war scenarios. I have already started to redecaling some of them into PFR chequers...
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
I only have the Wings of War Hurricane MK.II Lend Lease plane, but I can bring this plane to Summer Con.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
OK then, I will continue my massproduction of soviet planes to send them in waves right in front of your
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Lost a Bf.109 and a Ju52 to Soviet fighters and Soviet AA last year.
I'm looking for bloody revenge...
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
This time you will be flying a true Eastern Front bird: a FW-190A or a Bf-109 F/G of my growing collection
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
I have 2 winter Me-109F's and three winter I-16s.
So with my 3 Fw 190 completed and Airacobras in the making we together can field quite formidable air forces, Heмaњa.
Tonight I will post some "action pics" of my newest models as a trailer/teaser
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Great, Nemanja! I like planes in winter camo.
Any others?
Any repaint of official Yak-1, Bf109E, Fw190-D will be warm welcome. Because it's eye candy
Today I place the order at magister militium for Mig-3 and Lavochkin and some others.
Yesterday Jan brought me Yak-9, Airacobra, I-16 and some others.
So I have potentially a lot of planes.
But...
Because of three children at home, I'm lack of time for painting, So I count with your planes and I will concentrate on Mig, Yak and Lavochkin to widen the spectrum of russian planes.
That is a good plan of yours, Jakub. We will be ready as well
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Nice!This time you will be flying a true Eastern Front bird: a FW-190A or a Bf-109 F/G of my growing collection
I'll search my treasures for eastern front planes & stuff.

It is getting really hot before the Convention
I have just placed a "Shap...s" order for red 4 La-7 late war fighters plus 2 Pe-2 dive bombers. They shall be delivered by the end of January, so there will be some time to finish them before May. What we need are the stats and cards for them.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
As I was planning to get there this year events have overtaken me. Unfortunately I'm going to have to pass this year as Origins has taken the priority. Apologies. I will make it one year, hopefully next. Have a great Con and I look forward to reading the exploits and seeing all the pics.
Neil
See you on the Dark Side......
This year there will be only fighters (a huge number, I hope) in my scenario from EF.It is getting really hot before the Convention
I have just placed a "Shap...s" order for red 4 La-7 late war fighters plus 2 Pe-2 dive bombers.
The numbers are growing. It seems there will be enough planes for 20 players!
My dream comes true!
In 2016 I'd like to prepare battle of Kursk scenario with many ground attacks.

Andrea confirmed that he is very likely comming over with his family.
Oh.
Good news. I'm curious what he'll say to our scenarios and some pioneer missions like WGS night fight.
Sorry to hear that, but that's why I cancelled my plans for Doncaster last year.
This year I have Prague, a weekend to Poland and maybe a visit to the "Spiel" in Essen.
In general I have to save a little bit money for my future trip to Japan in 2016.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
I am afraid that circumstances beyond my control have now precluded myself and Eileen from attending the Con this year. A combination of changed events dates in our other interests, and some unexpected financial commitments are to blame. the knock on effect means that we will only be able to do some of the things we had organized for this year.
Hope to be able to rectify this in the future.

Bad news...
Edit: No pilots from GB this year, then?

That's life, Rob. I only hope the obstacles you both are facing will be just a past memoirs sonner than later.
I hope our Doncaster meeting will not be affected.

So do I Andy. You will be amused when I tell you the main reason for this sea change. I'll PM you later with the reason.That's life, Rob. I only hope the obstacles you both are facing will be just a past memoirs sonner than later.
