I agree.  I think we could do 1870 and maybe even 1856 without too
much trouble or worrying about deeper consequences.

Let's hold off on 18EU until we can do a complete implementation of the game.

Ok, so let's prioritize things like this:

1. Undo - this seems to be the most important and desired feature.
2. 1870 - because it's very close to 1830. Other than the privates and
splitting revenue we've already got almost all of the rules
differences, so I expect this will be quick to get fully working.
3. Save Games - while this is important, due to the relative ease of
playing a full game in a single sitting, I think we can push this off
a little bit.
