Dan if it is in the restaurant that will mean a late start 10.00 ? and an early finish 18.00 ? to accommodate the other guests
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
There weren't much guest for dinner in the past years.
Beside us...
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
I believe we will not need to finish so early.
I made a pre-reservation for us for the evening. We will know more in a month.
Hello to all !
Unfortunately today we are not playing, we are not going to have dinner together and most important we are not going to drink a good pint of czech beer !
Miss all of you !
hear hear !!!
how true it is, what a pity not to do all the things Thomas mentioned, worst of all is not meeting you guys (although sipping some of Nemanja's home brewed (?) slivovitz comes a close second )
anyway, stay safe and healthy and "we'll meet again "
cheers,
Guus

NOT @ GUUS, sorry. Was wrong Quote.
It's @ SVEN
Come on! Be, hmmm, positive
Seriously, I believe if we can make it, if we are allowed to. I hope they'll open borders and cancel quarantine.

For those who are sad, you can remind Prague Con '17 with this video:
Thank you for posting this video, Dan!
Nearly forgot about this one...
Now I'm much more sad.
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
What a bunch of daring young hot shots was there! 2017! Thanks Dan!

What a wonderful video I had never seen this one before ...
I really made my day seeing a lot of my friends (albeit a lot younger) playing our game, thanks a lot.
REP fired to Daniel
stay healthy all of you,
cheers,

Hey guys, what's going on?
Well, pandemia under control (at least the first wave) and we are returning to normal regime slowly.
I spoke with Lįďa on Monday and he added me a new perspective - it would be better to run our gathering during September, because there is Essen Spiel in October and he'll quite in rush.
I don't tell September will be the date, I want to call with Kubajs firstly and have a short discussion. Theoretically, we don't need his LGS, but in fact is a bloody good place and help for us.
I'll try to keep you updated.
Same here, I guess... We are slowly returning to normal, too, but we'll have elections in June. So, fading anti Covid campaign will be substituted with blooming political campaign.
Do you have any more precise info when in September (first or second half)?
Nope, not yet. It's hard to predi t what will happen in 4 months, especially during summer when most of the people are going for holiday to seaside. Maybe there is an interesting information for you: Governments of the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia discuss a possibility of special open regime on borders (because holidays). I don't see a reason why Serbia can't participate this.
And, of course, it depends on Essen Spiel.
Anyway, Wings of Prague '20 event is still in plans (at least we have badges).
(I'll reply your email later, this was just brief reaction)
Dan, please remember the Doncaster Con is still scheduled for September 18-19-20 !
I don't think it would be wise to have the two major European Wings/Sails events clash with one another
cheers,
Guus

I keep it in mind because i wanted to go there too (canceled from my side, unfortunately), but nobody knows if there will be a possibility to cross UK borders. Anyway, Doncaster Event date should be safe.
By the way, CZ goverment plans open borders this or next week. Of course, some added procedures 'negative COVID-19 test or quarantine etc.) will be applied.
Dear friends,
it seems we know how live with our new little I'm-not-your-friend virus so let me invite you to the second attempt to run Wings of Prague 2020. The new date is from 16th to 18th October and we (me and Kubajs) expecting this date as possible. Of course, there will be probably less of you there, so we asked Lįďa, the store owner, to run whole event there and not in Hotel MARS (at least it is for free in Svět deskovżch her so costs can be reduced).
Please, be so kind and announce you plans here, especially about:
Thank you
- if you still have Wings of Prague in you plans,
- if you want to run you announced missions as GM.
Sorry Dan but will have to take a rain check this year. nearly got trapped in the UK in March with the lockdown so not going to chance a second great escape .
Got 2021 on the calendar
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
"to take a rain check" - I must remember this idiomatic expression, Paul! Thanks. Although it is a bad news indeed...
Well, the dates are fine to me. I am finishing my lectures for young lawyers on 15.10.20. Now must check my mates's plans and the accomodation.
We will be in touch and the PL team will confirm the escapade plans ASAP. I'll be happy to run a game as well.
Thanks Daniel and Jakub for your efforts to keep this noble Con tradition running (not mentioning longing for some draught beer...)
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
hi Daniel, I am afraid I won't be able the Prague convention. I hope next year we can meet again. Good of you and Jakub to run the con this year despite all the troubles with the virus. Have fun,
Lex
We'll stay from 16.- 18. October in Prague with my wife & friends, so I think I can paticipate only Saturday morning for gaming & the Saturday evening debriefing.
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
It’s fantastic that you are able to go ahead. I wish you all the best.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
I know about it and feel the same, but understand traveling in these times can be rough. On the other side, even quarantine can be easier in Brittany than enywhere else
Cool, happy you will join us (hopefully) again. Runway clear and ready to take off
I am sure it is not the last opportunity. Hope situation will be better during next year and we can celebrate 10th year of this con. Crossing fingers
OK, I would be happy to see all of your band again
Trying to keep the the world as normal as possible. And, in the worst case, there is still a possibility to run a single campaign about defending your Albion
Hi Dan,
good of you and Jakub to keep the tradition running
However, I will not attend this year, just don't dare to take the risk ...
Good health to you, Jitka, young Veronika, Jakub and all the others over there. Hope you have a wonderful Con
See you all soon, I hope ...
cheers,
Guus

I fully understand, Guus. You will be missed, but this year is pretty crazy, so who knows the real risks? I would be happy to meet you again on April for regular Wings of Prague '21 date.
PS: I am going to buy a Škoda Octavia too, but unfortunately, it will be silver, not the extra color you have
So...let's work a little.
I did these updates:
- Participants List: confirmed players in black, others in grey.
- Participant's action needed: Confirm yourself if you have attending in your plans.
- Pretty sad to delete some flags...
- Missions: Battlestar Galactica canceled due to absence of GM, the rest will be discussed with Kubajs in next week(s).
- Repaint Contest: Final dates for repaint postponed to October.
- Tim's action needed: Confirm Repaint Contest is still active.
- Location: Svět deskovżch her (Lįďa's shop and game room) only due to less participants and saving costs.
With heavy heart, I'm going to have to pull out as well.
Corona case numbers are rising again, countries are being added to and struck off the "Safe" list every week, and I just can't risk being stranded on the wrong side of the Channel if things go sideways in October.
(Actually, I'd LOVE to have several unplanned weeks in Central Europe but work won't stand for it, not even the potential 14 day compulsory quarantine on return).
Chances are the UK will be in mid "second spike" by then, and all NHS staff will be needed/valued/appreciated again.
I hope to come over in the Spring for the next Prague Con, and will run my "Todesrennen" game then.
As for the Painting Contest, it can go ahead as planned if folks have completed their entries already - I'm happy for others to preside over it.
I wouldn't want the efforts of painters to be wasted/set aside.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Alas thats sounds like a rather too accurate assessment of the situation.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Jelena and I are planning to come, but we must wait to see if governments have different plans
Got those dates for 2021 booked in yet Dan
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Croatia and Austria have just been added to the UK Government's quarantine list.....................
Still, I'd cancelled my "Game of Thrones" jolly already.

Yesterday we had a meeting on a "boardgamecamp" in Lįďa's store with youngsters. If the virus let us run the con (and you enter CZ and return back again) it should be OK. There are plenty of free Air B'n'B for budget costs, same for travelling, so the only danger is colours on maps. Feel free to ask about actual COVID situation before. So far it looks we can fit between 2nd and 3rd wave.
Are you in with your postponed flight tickets, Paul?
If we are going to be at SDH, does it mean the food fest on Saturday is on? Or we are going to behave
