Yes Daniel that is our intention.

Fine, I will add you in few minutes. Thanks!
Please add me and my son to list. Honza and Honza.
Great, I'll add you ASAP. It's fine you can come again. If you want to try prepare a mission, you can (not mandatory, just an offer, of course).

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.
Nice to read this, Rafal!
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.
As of this afternoon Flights booked, and self and Mrs K. booked in to Hotel Mars for April the 8th to 15th.

For my two SoG missions on Saturday:
Is it possible to support me with 2x gaming mats, 8 ship logs and damage counters?
I'll bring with me: 8 ships, damage bags, AA range rulers and two missions.

I can certainly do you eight ship logs Sven.
Also count me in for the games.

"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Thank you for your offer Rob, I think the Prague guys can solve my material request.
You're enlisted.
I've got more to bring to Prague this year. 5x Ufags, 1 - 2 Aviatiks and some Italian opponents.

We can provide both: ship logs, damage counters and even some ships.
We will try to arrange MARS even for Sunday, we will know more after Thursday.
Just note what else you need.
OK.Daniel I will pack something else if you are sure you are complete for Sven's needs.
