Re: [Rails-devel] 1856 bridge/tunnel tokens

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

OK, 1856 now has a new "Unlimited bonus tokens" game option. 
The default remains "no", which is also applied if older saved 
files are loaded, in which the choice for this option does not 
yet exist.

Train buying is never enforced (that was a recent change), but
in my interpretation of the rules, the CGR would be required
to exchange the 4-train in this case. But indeed the rules are 
silent on this matter.
A question in the 18xx Yahoo group might get you a more
authoritive answer.

I found and fixed another bug: if the CGR had excess trains so
that it would need to discard any 4-trains, it actually discarded
all 4-trains.

A choice would be wonderful.

Speaking of 1856 rules that are subject to interpretation, it is not
at all clear whether the CGR is required to upgrade a 4-train to a
Diesel if it has the money to do so, and no permanent train. There are
strong opinions in both directions.  (I was trying to run a hotseat
1856 through to this point in the game to verify which way Rails went,
but I've never managed to have a game that got past the CGR formation
without running into a fatal bug...)
