    OK, we are waiting with voting about the date. Lada (store owner) is moving his shop right now, so we need to know some informations about new place (how big is it etc.). Week or two, not more, I promise.

    Great to know Ladinek is sailing before the wind.
    Hope one day he will be able to acquire Botel Racek and then the golden era of non-stop gaming will start...

    Seriously, Prague Summer Con is one of the very best event I ever took part.

    My good intentions:
    - be back in 2016 if nothing terrible gets in the way
    - let more the family on their own and be more on the battlefield
    - practicse WW2 before in case I am invited again to play it (I doubt after my poor performance last year )
    - do not reserve a plane for Sunday, fly back on Monday instead.

    Thanks again for all, last year it has been gorgeous.

    In this case it's been an US player from BGG. A battle report here:
    https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/111...-sails-round-1

    It could allow Sails of Glory at the Con and spare a table at the same time...
    Ok, just kidding.

    Phillip I am seriously liking those photos of yours!

    I actually think that a WW1 / WGF versus Sails situation would work better overall than trying WW2 v Sails like in that picture I posted. WW2 involves too much speed and too many game-kill potentials. Whereas without these adverse factors WW1 v Sails would be so much more game and more rewarding having begun as such a unique idea.

    I always knew that Wings of War / Glory was a versatile wargame compared with others I have known but the Avro Vulcan business with WGS really did teach me never to say never about it. So I reckon this could actually be done: It does IMHO need an expert in both games (I have not played Sails yet but believe that where there is a will there is a way) to look at this situation and think creatively about it ...

    I can not speak for a Summer Con, but I can say that the Prague pilots feel more than welcome on my visit there last year. For me it was a mini Con of one afternoon of gaming! And communicating was not so difficult at all thanks to them all speaking better English than I spoke of any of their languages!!

    Anyone who can attend a Summer Con should do so, you will be hard pressed to find a better group to play the game with.

    We have a gaming session on 6th October in Lada's new place (we had two last Cons in his shop - he is an important supporter of WoG in Prague). I will report about new LGS and gaming hall.

    It's closer to Slavia hotel, which Jelena and I had often stay in (being close to Lada's old place), than before.

    Knowing Lada, I'm sure new place must be good choice.

    ATTENTION: I can see from above there is Hotel Mars right near the venue. Why do not we book some rooms there? Maybe a kinda group booking would be even more beneficial . I can book a room right thru booking.com, but comrades from Prague could talk to the hotel manager....

    Why not stay all together in hotel near the Con location. Shure I'll miss the Vlatava river a little bit, but this shortens the distances.

    Could you also fly a recon mission over Hotel Mars in the vicinity to check if they can offer some premises for the pilots?

    For example:

    If you're shot down we simply use a damage deck to determine if you survieved or not.

    Escape from the battlefield means no resurecction for this mission.

    ...and so on.


    Changing between WW I & WW II should be possible, you simply have to start with a new pilot.


    This saves us the famous and individual introduction games at Friday, the big mission at Saturday evening and the final missions at Sunday. We need space for game ideas and new mission concepts beside a campaign.


    Of course we need to vote for a campaign scenario for WW I and WW II.

    Westfront or Italian front for WW I

    Pacific, BoB, Europe, North Africa or Eastern Front (with Balkans) for WW II, etc...
    I quote myself.

    The choice for one sceanrio safes transport capacities.
