Re: [Rails-devel] Tile orientation in 1835

[Schnell, V. <vol...@ar...>]

Surely i can rotate a tile, but that is not the point.
A gamemaster of a pbem game  is not amused, if tile orientation is not 
identic between the game and the implentation in rails.
I run a pbem-game with both. 18xx and rails with mailorder from each 
player. The tile orientation in rails is not identic with 18xx (i.e. 
tile 5 and 6 have the tilenumber not at a trackside).
