Re: [Rails-devel] Info: trains and phases

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

Just checked my rules for 1870 and it makes no restriction on buying
and selling trains between corps, same for 18EU.

RE:placing Grey tiles in 18EU.  There are only grey tiles to upgrade
the 'non-Y' cities, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and all the 'Y' cities do
not go above brown/russet.  I'll let you know whether we experience an
issue laying greys once my current game reaches that stage although
I've not faced it before
