    I take it "Period: 1924 - 1923" should read as "Period: 1924-1943" ? or am I wrong ?

    No, I'm wrong. It should be 1914-1923. Sorry for this mistake.

    Hm, I won't probably participate the repaint contest this year because WW1 is not in my scope. I think it's a pity to limit the contest only to one war. But I fully respect it.

    The only two WW1 planes I own are the awards from previous years and I am definitely not going to repaint them (especially Zeppelin Staaken)

    It's right of the last winner to choose the criteria for next year and Vladimir chose.
    Nemanja asked me about two contests, but I recommended him a KISS system (keep it simple stupid).
    It's said you can't join it, especially if I know your repaints. Hope it did not destroy your feelings about participation.

    Wait a second... Cards will be the tie-breaker? OK. But if I enter the contest, does that mean that other entrants can't get cards from me, and can I loose the contest because I did a card for someone else?

    Also, I plan to do Ace Skill and Equipment cards for my custom planes (whether they are used in the Vimy Ridge scenario, or not), as part of the "complete" repaint package.

    Hmmm... Something for the Judges to think about.

    BTW: If anyone asks, I can do cards, despite the above contest rules, if the contest allows it. Actually, even if it doesn't, cause you can use the cards for playing any time, if not for the contest.

    PS: I know how to get around this. I won't enter the contest with my repaints, as they will be minimal jobs anyway. Top wings and decals, pretty much. It will be the card sets that complete the planes, not the paint jobs.

    Dear Colleaugues,

    Finaly we somohow managed to organize everything and I can confirm we will make it for Wings of Prague 2019. So Daniel, please count us in (Darek and myself), although we will arive Friday very late (not before 22.00 hours, I suppose). Anyway, I'll be happy to meet you again.

    As for the scenario I will bring one. Not sure what would be the topic, but as next year is 100 anniversary of outbreak of Polish-Soviet war, I'd like to bring something related to this conflict. We'll see if I manage to prepare WGF scenario, as normally I have more experience and minis for WGS.

    Mike, last Con we had 3 planes on 3rd place. All 3 planes had plane cards.

    We quickly organized a small comitee and had a decision.

    ...simply make shure that your entry has a plane card. Would be a tragedy if you were kicked down the ranks by one of your designed cards, because you forgot to make one for yourselve.

    @ Mike
    Part with the cards remained the same as it was last time. Idea is to have full model.

    Also, if it stays tied, even with cards, we always can form tie-breaking Jury, like we did last year.
