Re: [Rails-devel] 1830: Exchange option not offered

[brett l. <wak...@gm...>]

In 1830, the sale of the first Diesel should blow up the 4-trains, so
technically only the first exchange is possible.

Nobody but the first company to exchange will have an opportunity to
hit their Buy Trains phase before their 4-trains blow up.

However, you're both correct.  It's not that it's a limit of 1
exchange, it's a timing of the sequences that causes the net effect to
be what it is.
