    How grand it was to meet up again with so many Wingmen from times past, and to make new friends into the bargain!

    Super stoked for more fun and games tomorrow.

    Everything is done, there are few words I want to say to all of you who came and also to you, who are thinking about next year or just observe it from the distance (maybe even from distance od two oceans):

    It is very important to mention all game masters who bring their ideas to the venue and realize it. We, pilots of Prague Flight, did this ourselves in past times (around 2015 and 20106), were highly motivated and tested every mission at least two times. It is impossible to continue with this system for more than one or two years in a row. Your missions are a big help and it is not easy for me to choose which I want to play. Thank you for your hours of preparations and willingness.

    It is not easy to stay tunned for our beloved game in times, when the last completely new types for WGF were released 7 years ago and the last fighters of WGS in the same year (anyway, thanks for Do.18 and Ju.88 3 years ago). Waiting is one thing, but there is also a possibility of loosing hope for future of our game. Prague, Rome and Doncaster events are the pillars of our game right now. Especially Italian contingent was a nice surprise of this year. Well done! Thanks for keeping the fire burning.

    The very last note is about money. Maybe you notice we are trying to keep the event as much open as we can. It is probably because of my volunteer background, because in Scout movement we (scout leaders) are usually asking about money that not belongs to boy and girl scouts, but to their parents. So we are trying to keep costs as low as possible. A habit. We were fine for several years, because we received some money for licence to previous name of event ("Prague Con") and we invested them for renting venues and other things around. That was the reason there wasn't any entrance fee. We could not visit Láďa's shop this year, so we had an extra costs that we were in trouble to cover. Thanks to you and your generosity we did it successfully. Thanks to you all who put a money to donation tube, thanks to you who buy something from the prizes and thanks to you who asked me and were ready to cover the difference in case of need. It is great to have such friends as wingmen.

    There will be 20 years from the first release of Famous Aces next year. We have several ideas how we want to celebrate this anniversary. Stay tunned
    The next year date is 19th-21st April 2024.

    True, so true. You players gave the strenght to the game to survive the weird closing of Nexus Editrice. And today, with these events, you are again a huge reason to look forward and a huge help.

    I'd disagree with that, right now the pillars of the game are the ladies and gents that put on and support Wings games at events that occur across the world and keep it in the eye of other gamers, in spite of the lack of product on the shelves.

    ...and that is exactly the case or Prague, Rome and Doncaster. Anyway, noted.

    About 2024's Edition, any news about the location(s)?

  48. #198

    A very good question!
    We plan to stay in the same quarter. Our plan is:

    • Fri&Sun Svět deskových her store, Kubánské náměstí (the same name for tram stop too), close to Strašnická metro station (Line A),
    • Sat Tlama Games store (same as this year Fri&Sat), Třebohostická No. 2, close to Nové Strašnice tram stop, close to Depo Hostivař metro station (Line A).

    The best would be somewhere between them (it's outside city centre so accommodation should be lower), but anywhere on Line A of Prague metro would work well. A 72 hours full public transportation ticket costs 330 CZK (~13.40 €).
