[PbP] - Brass Lancashire

[Chewy77]

I use Warrington & Runcorn to build a port there (£7), and my final card (Cotton Mill) to sell my cotton from Oldham via Runcorn.

[Captbnut]

I’ve played myself into a bit of a hole. I’m going to take 2 £30 loans

[Benkyo]

I was going to develop shipyards x2 and build in Liverpool, but at a cost of £29 I’m not sure I can afford it. Instead I’ll use both Liverpool and Stockport (and remind @Captbnut and @GeeBizzle that you should declare your cards for all your actions) to build a tier 1 ironworks in Rochdale, spending £5, taking a coal from Rochdale, flipping it to get £10 back and increasing income to £4.

[Captbnut]

I had Burnley and a cotton mill

[GeeBizzle]

I had an iron works and a port.

Lazy, apologies.

@Captbnut to play.

[Captbnut]

Play Cotton Mill to build double rail (Rochdale to Oldham, Oldham to Manchester). £15, one coal from Rochdale, one coal from Oldham

Play Coal mine to build double rail (Manchester to Bolton, Manchester to Warrington & Runcorn), £15, two coal from Oldham, flip coal tile.

[Benkyo]

Change of plan: reminding myself to play with the hand I’m dealt and the board in front of me.

Play Oldham to build cotton mill for £18 +£2 iron + Rochdale coal, flipping the Rochdale coal mine.

Play Manchester to build cotton mill for £18 + £2 iron + £1 coal from Warrington & Runcorn.

£41 spent.

Over to @Chewy77

[Chewy77]

Well, well, well, seem like my two initial moves are taken…
Play Stockport to connect Bury to Manchester and Manchester to Stockport with a double rail move, using my coal in Bury, (£15) and build a iron works in Manchester using an Oldham card that is good for nothing now, the final coal from Bury (flips he mine if my count is right) for another £9.
(Crossing fingers so I don’t have to speak to my lawyers again) It is over to @GeeBizzle

[Captbnut]

@Chewy77

and build a iron works in Manchester using an Oldham card

That doesn’t read like something you can do. You need a Manchester or an ironworks card

[GeeBizzle]

I’ll hang fire. That sounds a bit off to me too.

[Chewy77]

It is within my network, looking at the rules seems legit, but I will hold fire

[Chewy77]

Okay, ignore the mine in Manchester, I will use Oldham for the first move, you will all forget that I had Stockport, and I will connect Warrington to Liverpool for a bit less money, (and I believe still my coal in Bury is the closest, so £5 and that coal instead of 7) using a Warrington & Runcorn card.

[GeeBizzle]

Ok so double rail to Yorkshire using my port card £15 and coal from Burnley
Then play colne and build cotton mill £14 using last coal from Burnley flipping it.

[GeeBizzle]

Play coal and build coal In Burnley (£7).
Play cotton and build cotton in colne (£16+£3) using coal from Burnley and iron from the market.

[Whistle_Pig]

You got £1 back for selling coal to the market.

@Chewy77 to play

[GeeBizzle]

Do I have to sell to the market? I would rather keep my coal for personal use right now like a little coal goblin.
