Wings of Prague 2023

[Riccardo]

I made a major update today. Mostly updating Post #1, but also changed Post #2 to European Masters Information Board.

I have two requests on you right now:

1. Tell me if you are able / want to organize a mission, please. There are 5 free slots from Friday to Sunday in this moment.
2. Tell me if you want to attend European Masters.

I am on board for European Master!
Just tell us some more details when available[possible timetable and all that)

[Dan-Sam]

You're on the list!
Timetable is in the very first post, actual informations as well. I don't like seeking intel in whole thread, so you can check just the first one all the time.
Unfortunately, we have some troubles with Fri+Sat, hope more info on Monday.

[Thunderbolt]

Cannot describe how exited I am about our meeting, guys. Especially that I couldn't attend it for several years in a row already now.

For some organizational topics:
1. Please enlist me on European Masters. Just one question here - do I need to announce upfront which planes I will bring?
2. Darek is coming with his girlfriend and they intend to do some sightseeing, so he will be joining some missions only. For that reason he will most probably not participate in EM, but that is still under negotiations :-D
3. I will not be able to prepare new scanario for the meeting, but... I can offer to host my Crete'41 scenario if people are willing to play it. It's been already quite a while since I've hosted it in Prague (I guess it was 2016 when we played it), so maybe new generation of pilots want to check it. Actually - our Wings of Prague meeting has already quite long list of scenarios that we've played all over these years. Wouldn't be that great if we launch 'vintage scenarios' slots where people can vote on some old scenarios that they would like to play again? Just an idea that popped up into my mind now :-)

See you soon!

[Flying Helmut]

I'm willing to run a WW1 game - perhaps a trial run of the game I'm running at Origins?
if so, I'll need to "borrow" three Gothas.

[Marechallannes]

I can bring an additional Gotha if needed.

By the way: Remember the repaint contest.

[Angiolillo]

I also have a Gotha if needed...

[hokusai]

Please take me in for EM

Quick question about cash...

I have some CZK left over from my last trip - have there been any changes to the circulation banknotes since 2019?
Can I still spend these in Prague, or do I need to get new ones?

I once came back from a week in Germany to find that some UK coins were no longer legal tender!
Barely had enough legal ones for a Welcome Home

[Dan-Sam]

Just a quick response to Tim (missions, Masters etc. later, probably tomorrow).

In general, baknotes are still valid. There was a minor change (banknotes released before year 2000 are not valid, you can se how to recognize them by checking vertical silver stripe here), but personaly I do not remember to see any in last decade (life cycle of banknotes is simply shorter than 23+ years.

Plan B is ask me and I can change them and your issue would be mu issue

PS: I guess 99% of waiters and shopkeepers don't know about this change

[Flying Helmut]

Thanks, Dan-Sam!

1. OK, I will put you on the list later today (the same for others).
2. No problems to join just few missions or one or two. We will short him his salary
3. Understand. I would like to play Crete '41 again really much - we have been there a year ago (Rethymno including), so it is "must play".
4. Absolutely like idea of vintage scenarios! There were many memorable missions that I want to repeat and I did it already with one and brought it to Doncaster (Dieppe Raid). Perfect.

[Dan-Sam]

Dan,
i'm willing to partecipate to the European Master!

ALERT, ACHTUNG, ATTENTION, ATTENZIONE, ПАЖЊА!

There is a major change in venue for Friday and Sunday. We can't stay in Svět deskových her on Kubánské náměstí this year due to construction works there. Friday and Sunday program will be in Tlama Games shop.

Address: Třebohostická 2, Praha
Map: N 50°4.543' E 14°30.517'
Closest tram stop: Limuzská

Saturday venue (Mincovna pub, map) is still valid.

[tikkifriend]

To Quote a classic

[tikkifriend]

Dan What time are we starting on Friday now ?

[Thunderbolt]

Thank you for confirmation, Daniel!

I have seen your report on Rethymno visit, so I'd gladly launch this scenario again. I hope you'd be able to enjoy it this year ;-)

I believe I am not able to amend timetable due to access restrictions, so please book one slot on Saturday for me. Thanks!

[Dan-Sam]

Dan What time are we starting on Friday now ?

Still 16:30. First half of EM should start around 17:00.

[Dan-Sam]

Understand, sir

The timetable is still floating, butnI guess you can count with third (the last) Saturday slot and table from TataMichal's previous WGS missions

[Angiolillo]

First time I come and do not play at Lada's! :O

Dan one question: people joining EM shall bring their own minis? Answer should be "Yes!" according to tournament rules, isn't it?

[Dan-Sam]

Yes, please. It helps us very much. In the worst case, we can help, but bringing your own minis will speed up preparations a lot

[Angiolillo]

Ok, exactly as in Rome. Perfect!

[hokusai]

I wish to participate to EM, too. Will use my own models. They are tuned, fly with higher octane fuel. Hope this is not a problem.

[Dan-Sam]

No, it won't. You can event left your scarf/shawl down on the aerodrome for decreasing weight of your airplane

Sorry for missing you, Fabrizio, I checked, saw Fabio's name on the list so I though you're already there. Anyway, you're there and you can prepare for start

[Thunderbolt]

I'll change the very first post today evening and I'll also PM you all to be sure you won't go to Láďa's shop

Confirmed, sir!. Noted the change of Home Base for Friday and Sunday. I should be landing Friday afternoon around 16.00 hours.

people joining EM shall bring their own minis? Answer should be "Yes!" according to tournament rules, isn't it?

I'll be coming with my minis for EM and also set of minis for my Crete'41 scenario (although I might need your support with some Gladiators, depending on the decision of Alied side for Airforce composition)

[Dan-Sam]

Morning Rafał,
I can offer at least one Gladiator Mk.I and one Sea Gladiator from my collection (I havea soft spot for these little biplanes), no problem.

[Honza]

I spent 30 years of my life in an apartment house across the main road from Tlama Games. This brings some fond memories. We would go a little further down that road to collect fossils from slate dumps when they built metro in that area.

[Honza]

Nemanja has confirmed. Jelena and Asja are coming with him.

Zdravo!

[Angiolillo]

I am a bit rusty. How do you sign to scenarios?

[Dan-Sam]

Offline only. The trouble is there are a lot of participants who don't visit the Aerodrome regularly si they can't put their names on the list.

I am going to print a spreadsheet with a mission list and let all the players sign their names on it dduring Friday and Saturday morning.

Is it acceptable for you or do you need the names for your mission in advance?

[Angiolillo]

No, I was asking just for myself as a player!

For S.55 there are 4 seats, maybe 5 but it would slow down. In Lucca we played in teams of two, to enable more people trying the game. Under 14s even played in a team of three.

Hey Daniel, that would be great! I will have my 2 Gladiators as well, so in total we can build a small squadron :-)

No problem for me at all. I can absorb 2-4 players per side, so 4-8 players in total for my mission. However, Teams should communicate internally well, as they need to discuss which planes they should bring on the table at any moment.

[Thunderbolt]

Nemanja has confirmed. Jelena and Asja are coming with him.

Zdravo!

Awesome news! Would be great to see them again!

Always happy to try a new game if there is room at the table.

[Marechallannes]

Far away from being professional like Michal I like to post the background of my Saturday WW 1 scenarios.

RICHTHOFEN PARADOXON

WW1 game for 6 - 12 players.

Can be played with or without altitude rules.

Mission goal for an RAF flight is to absolve a recon mission over a "Reichscastle" where a mad scientist manages to bring troops from the past into present to prevent the defeat of the Reich.

With aproaching RAF planes he imports a "special" Luftstreitkräfte flight.

Definitely a hard task for the Entente pilots...






Special Richthofen Paradoxon gameboards:

[Marechallannes]

2nd scenario is a classical WW 1 bomber mission with my beloved A-H/Italian planes.

Mission for 6 - 12 players with or without altitude rules.

The Italians try to destroy a railway junction in the Southern part of Austria doing some preparation for an further offensive.

[Honza]

Looks good buddy!

[RJG173]

Mission goal for an RAF flight is to absolve a recon mission over a "Reichscastle" where a mad scientist manages to bring troops from the past into present to prevent the defeat of the Reich.

Sounds like the plot of a "G-8 and his Battle Aces" story.

[Honza]

Would anyone be possibly interested in a night bombing WW1 mission for saturday opening? Brits are trying to bomb a German held brewery. Search lights, night conditions.

[tikkifriend]

Depends if it clashes withe the ET missions

[Dan-Sam]

So you're in, Paul. Masters missions are on Friday (fighter #1 & bomber #1) and on Sunday (bomber #2 & fighter #2)

[Пилот]

I'm not sure if Asja or I will fly Masters yet (Jelena won't), but anyway we'll bring 3 Fokkers an 2 DVas, just in case.

[Dan-Sam]

Would be nice to give us a result during Friday to help arrange playground

[Thunderbolt]

We are ready for take off tomorrow morning - see you guys in the afternoon. Have a good night before missions!

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Have a good one chaps.
