   Well, yes, it is important.   Two reasons:

   First is silly since 2-player 18xx is silly but for many 2-player 
variants the holding limit is raised from 60% to 70%.

   Second is important.  As I recall a couple of Tresham's titles ('25, 
'53 if I have this correct) have a variable share limit depending on the 
number of players.  So at some point this point will have to be addressed.
