Re: [Rails-devel] 1835: Later Prussian formation rounds

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

This saved file no longer loads because the PR must now discard its excess
trains at the right time, i.e. in an earlier stage.

The reason that in your game the PR got this prompt after the 4+4 is bought
probably is, that I'm at that point also starting a PR formation round.
Thinking about it, I should probably only do that if the PR has not been
started earlier. If that is the general opinion, I will change accordingly.

It gets a little weirder with the sale of the 4+4, which as I'm aware
shouldn't do anything except cause the 2+2 to rust.  The Pr is forced
to discard one of it's 3s or 4s after it discards it's 2+2 in the
attached save...
