Don't you need to sell shares in order to afford to float your new company?

Yeah, I'll sell them on a subsequent stock action.

Sell one Y&N (105->100)
Buy two ECR at 62 each. This company now floats and buys 3 stations.

I was going to edit the sheet to fix that, but I figure you're probably going to buy the other share next turn.
Buy 1 Y&N from the market for £105

I think CD needs to sell something now so he can float the new company he started. So maybe not skip him yet.

To confirm, if I merge two companies and have an odd number of total shares in them, I'd have the option to "buy up" the remaining half-share into another complete share, right? That's what I'm taking away from reading the rules but it feels like it's worded kind of obtusely.

Mr. Squishy
Mar 22, 2010

A country where you can always get richer.
You're right, that bit of the rulebook is an intimidating mess. But you're generally correct, barring a few edge cases. You discard half your shares to the bank (rounded down) and flip the odd share into an option, or half a share, which you then either buy up the other half or sell it to the bank. This either costs or earns you half the current market rate.

I will then buy the 5th EUC, floating it.

Unless someone sells something on my next turn I will buy ENR from the IPO and then pass out the round.

I believe this is an impermissible route in that you can run to, but not through, a red off-board area like London. If you were relying on the connection through London to reach Colchester I don't think you could place that token either. (I don't know what the map looked like, it might have been possible to trace a route the long way around)

section 7.4 posted:

If a route visits a red off-board hex or a port, it must terminate there.


Edit: Never mind, I thought you were running from Newmarket-London-Harwich port. I still think NGC can't do that, but for a different reason: at least one train run in every company's turn has to hit their home station, so I don't think NGC would have been able to run Newmarket-London-Harwich with just 2 2Fs. (I assume it was going London-Colchester-Harwich port via the token in Colchester.)

section 7.8 posted:

At least one run for a company must include the town occupied by the company’s home station marker.

Circled small station keep's getting moved to the centre, and quit doing that! That small station is on the N-S line only, as WNR put down that line first.
