Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU game option: unlimited plain track

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

Bill,

Thanks. I have applied your update.  
For 1826 and 1851 I have set the default value to "Yellow Plain". For 1851
it's in the rules, and for 1826 (v1) in the (as I understand: "official")
Steve Thomas/Chris Lawson clarification.
I haven't checked other games; the Rules Differences site does not mention
any other games that we currently cover in Rails.

Apologies that I have not included your name as the Author of this and the
previous fix - I'm just now discovering that I can and should set the
correct Author while committing.
Hopefully I'll remember it next time...

Erik.
