... I believe the answer is "yes". 1844 is one of those games where one idenifies the train to buy, and only then addresses the question of how to pay for it....
... Indeed we could. The possibility exists that he'd give the same answer as he did last time he was asked, but then again it might have changed. -- Steve...
Why would we need to? He already answered a similar question in message 22599: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/18xx/message/22599 And--before anyone tees...
I did read that message before I posted my message, and in fact referenced the October 2008 discussion when I asked my question. The linked response presumed...
"The company can buy the 3 train as a 3H train for 150 sfr from the bank-pool or he can buy a 6/6H train from the bank with 230/150 sfr from the director." ...
The October question is: If a company has enough money to buy a train in the pool but not enough to by a train in the bank, may the president use emergency ...
Charlottesville, VA: We had 12 players and played 11 games in 3 days. 6 different players got wins. Rick Dutton had two wins and Bruce Beard had 5. They...
Quite. That is also what I meant by "a fortiori". So there you have it: Steve Thomas and David Hecht, agreed on a rules interpretation. ... From: Chris Shaffer...
I really, really hope you mean that you were first with 5 wins and Rick was second. Because the way you wrote it implies its the other way around! :-) If I...
I'll be at Bay Area Game Day on March 7 and am looking for an 18xx game starting around noon. So far there's 1 other person who'll be there so we'd need 1-2...
Well, I used a simpler version of the scoring system at Chat, DERail, etc and I did win so I do not have to break my own bones. Also of note to local 18XX...
It doesn't make a difference where the train is. While I don't claim that my original post in October doesn't have a hole, the point intended was that once you...
We'll have to agree to disagree. I don't think the question you asked and the answer you received directly addressed the question I raised. Nor do I think...
Did I miss the posting of the new 1853 rules? Joe Willette _____ From: 18xx@yahoogroups. <mailto:18xx%40yahoogroups.com> com [mailto:18xx@yahoogroups....
Thank you Bruce for running a great tournament. I just wish I was able to get in a game of 18VA to see what it is like. Also, thanks for the schooling, I might...
Thanks, Rich. I hope we can get 15 next year--20 the year after. ________________________________ From: 18xx@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Rich Sent: Mon...
I was really hoping to get to talk to the folks playing at Prezcon, but everyone was so intensely occupied, that I couldn't get a look up to say "hi". Better...
I've played quite a number of 18xx games for a few years now, but recently I've been interested in taking the thing apart and seeing how the system ticks. One...
... compared to the total stocks and privates in the game? Many seem to have slightly less than one company's shares left over if everyone is on their share...
It is a critical question. If there are far more certs in the game than players can hold then either the weaker companies never get opened or the companies...
No, you didn't miss the posting. The content is ready and what remains is the last editing to present the rules in the desired format. When the 1853 Retuned...
... Overall stock limits or (slightly better) alternatively share limits per player (or company) for his (its) total holdings are first of all a design...
... The general rule is that when everyone is at certificate limit, there should be a handful of shares left over. That's enough to allow the stock market to...
And yet you will find that Francis Tresham included holding limits in all of his designs. I guess that 1829 must be a poorly tested design and Mr. Tresham...
... Like every 18xx designer, he played for 10 years with his first game before getting it ready to publish ;) Seriously, 1830 is an exception, which was...
... Not the only reason but the major historic cause of its appearance in the 18xx genre. It requires some understanding before one can drop it or consider ...
