Re: [Rails-devel] Bug in 1830 Coalfields.

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Arne:
I can confirm the bug, thanks for catching it.

The rules for obsolescence are different for 18AL (the previous game
for which obsolete trains where implemented), which rusts the trains for
the company which triggers the phase change.

Erik:
I suggest to add a field to GameParameters "ObsoleteTrainFor" with 
values {"all", "exceptTriggering"}

I prefer a GameParameter to a Train Attribute here because mixing 
different obsolescence rules in one game is very unlikely to occur.

I can implement that, if you do not prefer to do it yourself.

Stefan

For example: Player A buys the first "4" train making all "2" trains obsolete; Player A, who owns a "2" train, does not have to remove it until after his next operating turn. And if Player A owns a "2" train, he would not have to remove it until after his next turn of operation.
