[PbP] - Brass Lancashire: Discussion

Not for industry cards. The location must be linked by your network for that.

You have options: double-action, build canals.

@Chewy77 I will PM you, since I know what your cards are!

I don’t think this affects @Captbnut’s turn.

(That’ll teach me not to try and check this PBF on my phone :laughing:)

@Whistle_Pig I think you are doing income reductions for loans incorrectly. Each point of loan takes income to the high point of the next colour band, not a simple -1. This leaves Captbnut and myself worse off. I’m at -1, Captbnut is at 0.

@GeeBizzle there is no red coal left! You can take from Oldham or Warrington.

Thanks. I’ve changed the text in my post, but not the map (I’ll update that in the morning). It’s worth checking what I’ve done though because it’s getting rather late!

Thanks I must have looked at an old map where you had one left in manchester.

No need to apologise! I think they’re all correct now.

I think my canal to Lancaster is missing from the map as well…

You need to be on your network for an industry card, but you don’t need to be for a location card.

The main barrier to building with location cards is sourcing coal.

Thanks.

That makes sense.

I’ll add it in later today. Remind me again if I forget…

Need to flip a distant market tile to continue my turn.

I think I should be on +1 income? Started at -7, flipped two cotton for +6, and the first distant market was +2.

Perhaps you know this, perhaps you don’t: the odds on drawing a 0 to sell to Yorkshire are something like 2/9. The only realistic way to flip cotton mills now is by flipping linked ports.

No, I don’t know about that, it’s not something that is in Birmingham. Does that mean that the tile wouldn’t flip at all even if I sell? Or it would flip but I wouldn’t get money?

Also, how do you do that thread linking thing?

If the cotton demand marker reaches the bottom of the track, your sell action ends immediately. That means that the cotton mill doesn’t flip (the distant market tile is revealed first) and you can’t flip any further cotton mills in that action.

I am tapping the link icon to copy the address of a post, and pasting that into my reply.

I asked the question because I thought your choice to build that canal might be based on a misunderstanding. As it is, that canal is probably worth only 2-3 VP, and you might be better off doing something else.

Thanks both, I didn’t know that (and I thought there were more tiles in that demand track).

I’m going to change my second action

The -6 demand reduction from my sales was about the maximum the demand could possibly have dropped.

Yes, dammit. Just when I get into the cotton trade…
