RE: [Rails-devel] TokenHolders

[Brett L. <wak...@ea...>]

I think it is possible to allow the UI code to make an "educated guess" about where to lay tokens.

For example, on 00 tiles, we know that the city circles are always diagonal from each other. So, we can logically infer from the tile's rotation, given that we have a known starting orientation, whether a token placed on the left half or right half of the hex needs to be also placed within the top half or bottom half of the hex.

I'm prepared to wait for that.
