Re: [Rails-users] 18TN bug

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

Thanks for the report Justin, you are right that has to be fixed in Rails.

Please be aware that 18TN is not frequently played, so please be careful 
to check if everything works fine. Especially those little details that 
are different to 1830 might not work as the rules claim.

I would be happy to receive your save file after game end to add it to 
our sample of automated game tests.

Details:

Actually I realized that the rules for private company selling in 18TN 
are a little more complicated:

Paragraph 4.2.6 in the current rules version, there two options to 
purchase a private company:

* In the first OR each major may buy ONE private for face value.
(A subtle question is if a short OR during the initial auction phase
would be treated as the first OR with respect to this rule).

* Otherwise after the first 3 train is purchased for 0.5 times face < 
price < 1.5 times value

Thus the multiplier has to be changed and the first exception have to be 
added.

I will fix those issues in Rails 2.0, however I doubt that it will be 
backported to Rails 1.x?
