... I don't grok your rotation comment and Wolfram's kit is not clear on the orientation of that gray-overlay. I've assumed that its exits point west,...

The rule on running trains says that you can bypass halts. Assuming you include them, "a company which includes halts in a route.10 company credits subsidy for...
Bill. Spot on. A classic use of the FYN is to run a 4+2 train for the value of Newport & Yarmouth and get 40cc per turn by purposefully including 4 halts....
FWLIW the change in the small station rule is the only change in the second edition that I have doubts on. We haven't fully explored the tragedy possible with...
BtB last night's (teaching) game of 1860 was entertainingly pathological. Four companies were in receivership and approaching bankruptcy (FYN, VYSC, BGSTL &...
I'm glad people are enjoying this. The game certainly throws up some surprises. Four companies in receivership at one time is going some, though. In terms of...
Mike, I have only played twice. But I would think having half the companies in 2-4 companies in recievership at any given time would be common in the midgame. ...
JC, Would it have made sense for the other 3 players to collude and take a full loss on shares of one company each in order to have you take a 50% loss on all...
The current state of play is for there to be a round of companies floated early in the 3-trains, sucked dry and discarded immediately before the 6-train is...
... I strongly disagree. I find the IWNJ and FYN to be the clearly two strongest companies, with the caveat that both can be near killed by well timed...

I would agree with JCL. Markus W prefers the IWNJ, whereas I prefer the FYN. I'm quite partial to the NGStL too. I suspect the VYSC may prove popular in the...

John Haas and I are looking for 1 or 2 players to start up another pbem game of a yet-to-be-determined 18XX title. We use ACTS, Cyberboard and an Excel...

While this is likely a local play-pattern, the larger problem for me with the C&N and IOW is that they tend to be diversely held. In the initial two SRs they...
