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

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

Three other things I just noticed that can be derived from the same
saved game (that is likely now totally broken!)

1. the privates close on the sale of the first 5 but any PrePrussian
privates stay in players hands and you are no longer prompted to
convert them at the start of future rounds (the HB in my case)

2. during phase '5' (the 5 train just bought, just to be clear) the
Prussian has a train limit of 2, not 3

3. Net worth calculation seems a little off, I think it's getting
confused particularly with the Prussian certs.

If you want I can log all this on the bug tracker, but short of
replaying the game again (which I can do if it helps) I don't have
another test case other than the one I've already sent
