Re: [Rails-devel] 2x Bug Reports 18TN Rails 1.7.3

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

Mike,
thanks for your detailed feedback.
All of the reported behavior is due to the Civil War is active (check 
the 18TN rules for details).

Currently the revenue calculation shows this in the detailed view with 
the comment "Civil War is active". However it is possible to add more 
information there (like "Due to Civil War 3-train is inactive").

In the scenario a) GMO has only one train, thus no train runs at all, so 
no feedback from the revenue calculation at all. That is not that 
straightforward to change (but I will keep it on my list).

Related question to Erik: the civil war phase start is only shown as 
"Start of Phase 3 1/2" in report window. Is it possible to make this 
more explicit? Something like Civil War has started and one train is 
rendered unusable.

Stefan
