    In last years, Kubajs is the main organizer, so I will be quiet and next sentences won't be official: my personal oppinion is there should not be any alcohol. Especialy spirits that made a participant or two drunk last year. Sorry to be so direct, but it was a shame.

    Thanks for the picture Cartas. It brings us all back to mind for the coming year.
    Also thanks to the Czech team for putting on another wonderful weekend. I will say more with a few pictures later.

    Winners at Wings of Prague 2019

    Yes, everyone that attended the Convention were winners. However, there were a few special mentions, and I'm hoping that the Organizers will post them.

    As a teaser for something I suggested at the Con, I present the following draft:

    Great CON my friends!

    Had a lot of fun with hosting 3 games (2x SoG & 1x WGF). AARs will follow.

    Of course I'll return next year!

    That's a superb start, Mike!

    My suggestions:
    1) Early-style "curly" Eisnerkreuz,
    2) bigger black rectangular wing reinforcement points for rigging wires
    3) black fuselage behind pilot extending beyond trailing edge of wings
    4) no panel lines on horizontal stabiliser/elevators
    5) "chestnut brown" leather cockpit rim

    Jastas were unknown in 1915 - substitute "KEK Vilna"
    Pilot to remain unknown

    My own personal preference is for the "old-style" Nexus Wings of War stats panel, instead of the Ares Wings of Glory style............the card back is great as it is, Ares style.

    Tim,
    Plane edited as requested. You can have a choice of Wings of War, or Wings of Glory, but I won't mix both. Being that we are in the Wings of Glory timeline, and the Pfalz E.1 wasn't produced by Nexus, I went with the newer style.

    To confirm my words, here are our ship, with "H" like "Honza" on flag. So, we are not only pilots, but sailors too.

    Thanks Mike.
    That makes me feel much better about the whole debacle. Know anyone who wants to buy a second hand Viper. One not so careful owner!

    Rob,
    I could be mistaken, but perhaps that particular Viper is now in my hands, and will be flying about the tables tomorrow at Curious ComiCon?

    There will be asteroids. I'll let you know how that turns out.

    Important question, old friend.
    Hmmm...why not honouring our friends from downunder? AU/NZ WGS repaints, including outsourced minis?
