Ok, so I'm teaching 4 new players to play 1841 in a six player game this weekend and only 2 of us had played it at all. With about 6-8 games under my belt, I...
18xx on VASSAL is ready for public beta test, and is still waiting for "real" game designer's permission to upload. Requirement for playing18xx on VASSAL are: ...
... Not really. The general algorithm is that you hand out shares in the new companies to those who own IRSFF shares, then put the rest in back in the company...
Our group would be interested in participating in the testing. Please let us know how to do so. My day job is in software QC, so we would be able to...
At least you responded in "the (only) international standard" language--English. ... From: "Robert Jasiek" <jasiek@...> To: <18xx@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
Yes, it is unfortnate that the English only burned our capital in the War of 1812. If they had won (as opposed to only forcing a stalemate), we would probably...
Clearly you did not read my comment attentively! :-) I am sorry that you find the standard system of measure so difficult and complicated...soooo sad...hey, I...
Canada is too cold ... and I think they still use miles ... so does the UK for that matter. They drive on the left in the UK and Australia. Plus there are ...
No one likes us-i don't know why We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try But all around, even our old friends put us down Let's drop the big one and see...
I apologize to anyone from Louisiana in advance, but one of his lines in "Rednecks" also makes me chuckle: "College men from LSU. Went in dumb, came out dumb,...
What happens if the SNCF forms and one player has 14 or more shares in merging corporations (and no other player has any)? By the SNCF formation rules he...
The normal rule in such situations (and which is specifically invoked in my other published design, 18EU) is that a player who finds himself over limit must...
... No, they've gone Kms years ago. You can do 100 on the QEW or the 4xx highways. And they no longer sell gas in Imperial Gallons (5 qts), it's liters. Dave ...

... And history, since the origins of most of the units lie with the French. And if you want to know how much mass makes a kilogram, and hence the magnitudes ...
... The SI standard allowed coexisting usage of old units UNTIL 1977. Therefore what you call an international standard may be international in the sense that...

OT ... Am I a representative of my country? I am a citizen but not a representative. I am proud of criticising my country's representatives. Why? They are...
... I'll give it a stab. There'[s a limit to how large a percentage of water air will hold. This limit varies with temperature, pressure, etc. The humidity %...
