[Rails-devel] 1830 The Coalfields

[Scott P. <sc...@re...>]

Here is a change list for 1830 The Coalfields.  Most of the changes will be
easy to implement, but the following might not?
-Train obsolescence (run one more time after rusting)
-Coalfields access rights (see #2 below)

I could help by generating the SVG files for the new tiles and map hexes,
unless there is anything special about them(?).

The full list of rules changes is here:
http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/11477/the-coalfields-zip

I took a Coalfields map and placed stars on all the hexes that have changed
from base 1830:

The hex numbers are consistent with the ones in Rails.

1830 The Coalfields Change List

1. Various map changes (see pdf above that shows all the hexes that have
changed)
2. New Coalfields hex (L10) that operates like a pass through offboard, but
requires a "Coalfields access rights" certificate. This may be purchased by
a connected company during that company's track building phase.
3. Additional company, Norfolk & Western (N&W) starts in L16. C&O home is
moved.
4. Additional trains: one 4T, one 6T, two 7Ts (7Ts cost $710, available upon
first 6T purchase), diesels repriced at $900 or $750 with a trade in.
5. Cert limits raised by one at all player counts
