18XX - where to start?

Not at all what I expected. That was definitely a deep dive for a mainstream board gaming channel. I also think they represented the genre accurately and fairly.

I’d love to know which, if any, of those boxes stayed in their collection after this undertaking concluded.

Re our previous session aka “Who let LaLunaVerde takes those two minor companies!?”

Im getting the hang of this. I mostly run my two minors which are literally and metaphorically railroaded to a certain play. Phase 2 is at least quick enough that I can now do more with those two companies.

I think I did a good choice by bidding for the Kiev-Kharov (KR) minor company. With two T2’s, I can run from Kharkov twice earning me 120 Rouble in one Operation Round. Nikolaev (N) was at least rich enough to take the blow of losing their train.

Downsides: Im feeling the hurt when you guys get your incomes from your private companies, as I have none.

I think you’re off to a great start even without privates.

I’m kicking myself for falling into a position of needing to break into Phase 3 but being unable to do so on my own, slowly losing my cash advantage every OR.

Also, well spotted @EnterTheWyvern! I completely failed to realize that small towns upgraded. Well played, sir!

I won’t be able to make it today. I’m working 2 jobs today now so it’ll be 9am to 9:30pm working day for me :grimacing:

Same on Thursday :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing:

Im sorry for messing it up. I switch my Tuesday night to Wednesday night. It thought it’s easier for people (and my friends are keen on Wednesday instead)

It’s no worries. We all have lives to lead. So it looks like 2020-07-23T23:00:00Z at 17:10 UK time will be our next session?

No worries. I fear it may be me who starts interfering with our sessions soon, due to buying a house next week and all the things that entails.

I’ll be planning for 24 July like EnterTheWyvern suggested.

I’m good with 24th

This absolutely!

The 24th is good for me. Hopefully we can get at least a couple of hours of gaming in and move on to the next thing we all wonder how we let @lalunaverde get away with :grinning:

@EnterTheWyvern @lalunaverde @pillbox I’m really sorry but I can’t make our session today :cry:. I don’t know if people are available over the weekend or we should think about Monday.

Monday’s not possible for me. I’ll find out in a fee hours if Tuesday onwards is. But maybe Pillbox will be moving house by then :grimacing:

I’m assuming that we’re not playing today because @lalunaverde has his regular games evening .

With regard to tomorrow, could we start 30 minutes later? I’ve just been reminded that I have a dental appointment at 4pm for a filling so I probably won’t be back at 5pm BST but I should be at 5:30pm
