[PbP] - Brass Lancashire

Captbnut · 11 November 2020 09:01

Play Ironworks to build ironworks in Manchester - £12 (coal from Warrington - flip tile). Looks like all 6 sell straight to market for £12, flip tile
Play Blackburn to build coal mine there - £7

GeeBizzle · 11 November 2020 09:27

Play Liverpool and build a port. (£7)
Play port and build a port in Liverpool. (£7)

I think this is a legal move. Await inevitable correction.

Chewy77 · 11 November 2020 17:44

Use Liverpool to build a port there for 7 quid. Use Cotton Mill to flip my Stockport Mill through such port.

Benkyo · 11 November 2020 23:51

Ack, the end of cards and loans caught me by surprise.

Oh well, double loan for £60 I suppose. Discard Bury and Macclesfield.

Next turn, down to £92.

Double double rail: Blackburn to Wigan, Liverpool to Wigan, Liverpool to Southport, Rochdale to Yorkshire. Flips Blackburn coal, pay £1 from the market for a cost of £31. Discard Iron Works and Manchester.

(My note: down to £59)

Chewy77 · 12 November 2020 00:04

Use Rochdale to build Iron Works there (paying 8 pounds between building and coal, correct me if I am wrong) and adding 4 iron to it. Discard a shipyard card to use 2 of those iron blocks to upgrade the locked shipyards on my play table.

Use Barrow to upgrade the Shipyards on my board to Coal era, using one from Rochdale that flips the Iron Works, and one for 1 pound from the market.
Use Shipyard card to build one in Liverpool that flips straight away, I believe. Total expenditure 27 sterling (25 from the shipyard, one from the iron and one from the coal).

Edit: change the prices for the shipyards, I forgot the coal. Total expenditure is 28 for the turn.

Captbnut · 13 November 2020 07:32

Play Bolton to build a cotton mill (£14, plus coal £1?)
Play Liverpool to double rail Preston to Lancaster, Preston to Fleetwood (£15, plus coal £4)

GeeBizzle · 13 November 2020 09:28

Play Lancaster and double rail Warrington to Wigan and elesmere to northwhich. (£15+£6)

Play coal and build coal in Wigan. (£8 + £2)

Benkyo · 13 November 2020 10:11

OK, I think I can go first next turn if I play coal for £7 to build in Blackburn, selling 2 to market for £2, then use Liverpool to double rail for £15+1, building rails from Preston to Blackpool and Southport.

Coal flip puts my income back to £3, so next turn I have 59 -21+3= 41?

Play Stockport to build my last Cotton mill for £18+1+2, then play Cotton mill (drawn a turn too late, my first Cotton mill in the game!) to sell to the port in Preston.

I think @Chewy77 is next, but we could probably use an update.

…and after @Benkyo’s turn:

@Chewy77 to play.

Benkyo · 13 November 2020 21:50

Instead of Preston-Blackpool, can I build Preston-Wigan? For some reason I thought that had been taken.

Captbnut · 13 November 2020 21:53

I have no problems with you changing

Chewy77 · 14 November 2020 21:10

By all means, it does not affect me.

Chewy77 · 14 November 2020 21:18

Use Ellesmere, to build a port there (level 3, £8), use Birkenhead, build a shipyard there (£25), using one coal at £2, and one iron at £3, expending £38 altogether, I believe.

Does the shipyard need to be linked to flip? I cannot remember…
