    Steve, there are some options according to my experience (these are justr two): Bologna Residence at Konviktska Street, where me and David Manley stayed in 2013 or Botel Racek, where recently Sven, Thomas and me stayed last year and we liked the place very much (perfect for me especially - free parking place).
    I am sure the Czech colleaugues will be of help.

    The same time I read some literature, so I can develop my mission as historical as possible.

    We'll see "Schräge Musik" with a special D-damage token set without the zeros. (so min. damage is 5)

    Second pair of Lancasters arrived yesterday in Bavaria.

    The switches for Prague Summer Con are set.



    I have a big request for our Summer Con organisators:

    "Will it be possible to make a reservation for Saturday evening in a restaurant* for a common dinner?"

    *a location that do not close the doors at 23:00h?

    Guys i found out i have been missing 3 "A" hit counters . It is "1", "2" and "4+engine damage".
    If someone of you who are coming over to Prague happened to buy more Nexus starters/fire from the skies (and so you have spare counters), would you be willing to bring those 3 to me please? Thanks you.

    The old Nexus A damgage set had:

    2 x 4

    3 x 1 with special damage
    4 x 2 with special damage
    3 x 3 with special damage
    1 x 4 with special damage

    1 explosion

    In my dawn of war & fire from the sky card game set are no spare counters.

    Somtimes a few damage counters flip under the plastic inlay in the gaming box if you transported it upside down or on the side.

    Just a chance that they're still there.

    I will check my stuff to see if I have some spare counters.

    I would like to prepare a night patrol mission that incorporates the special night rules posted here.
    We have to give it yet a few goes first. I'd say 6 players may about the right number.

    I've been recently thinking about omitting speeds and letting the player in the Attack mode choose at the time he uses a maneuver. There would be an Iniciative held by each side for one turn (it would change sides each turn - ala A&A), and holders of the token would choose first.
    Just something different.
