One thing to keep in mind for Facker, since it's their first 18XX, is that (as shown on the stock chart) 54 is the absolute lowest share price that you can start a company at, meaning you need at least 54x5 = 270 (plus anything you might have bid) in order to be able to buy 5 shares and float a company. Since only companies that are floated can operate and earn money, that's pretty important. Other players could theoretically buy shares in your company and help float it but that's generally Real Bad to count on unless you have an explicit agreement with them. Pass

I'll pay the *cough* service fee (-£20) and float WNR at £74 and buy the president's share (-£222) and buy two more shares (-£148) for a total of £390, which floats the company and gives it £740 in its treasury. I don't have edit access on the spreadsheet yet  but I updated the stock chart.Edit: Oh, and pass.

Wait, wouldn't each 1F run Wells->Port, at least to start? I was obviously planning to upgrade Wells to green and build my way out of there once greens were available. Since 1Fs can only run one hex, I thought port-Wells was all the farther they could run anyway. Edit: ah crap I forgot that freight trains chain together. Let me re-lay that.

CD has £-1 on the spreadsheet for some reason. I'll buy a share of WNR for £74 - I didn't see anything in the rules about limits on share ownership so I'm assuming that's legal. To save time I'll do the same thing again next turn, and then autopass, leaving me with exactly £0.

Usually turns in 18XX stock rounds are 'sell as many shares as you want [within the rules], buy one share'. I can't think of any off the top of my head that let you buy more than one share at a time, except in a few games where a stock is doing really terrible and nearly worthless (like 1830 when a stock is in the brown part of the stock market).

Yeah, a fair number of games will limit you to owning 60% of a company but I didn't see any such restriction in the rules for 1862 (unless I missed it).

So I believe it goes Lecher - buy WNR Facker - autopass Squishy - pass CD - autopass Lecher - buy WNR again Facker - autopass Squishy - undetermined CD - autopass Lecher - autopass meaning Squishy's up.

WNR operates Green #15 in Fakenham E4 run 1F+1F Fakenham-Port of Wells for 140 (30 Fake + 30 hex bonus for Wells + 80 Port of Wells) pay dividends, stock 68>>82 (move twice since dividend >2x stock price) Buy 2F (-200) I'm still trying to wrap my head around the way freight trains run and pay out but I think that's correct.

It looks like the operating order in OR2.2 is WNR (me) Y&N (Facker) NGC (Cthulhu) ENR (Squishy) L&E (Cthulhu) I'll buy up the rest of a Y&N share (-39) WNR operates #8852 in E6 Watford, #57 in E8 Thetford token in Fakenham run 2F Fakenham-Port of Wells for 150 (30 Fake + 30 hex bonus for Wells + 90 Port of Wells) pay dividends, stock 82>90 I guess I'm okay with playing the rules as we originally thought they were. E: Actually if we're going to go against the designer's errata, I would suggest that we play a variation on what we originally thought, that F trains specifically can't run port to port (or red area to red area). Otherwise, especially once we start getting into the longer/permanent trains, I feel like not being able to run from a red area to a port (or vice versa) is going to be a crippling handicap on the freight train companies compared to the other two. And I say that as someone running a freight company. Porfiriato fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Dec 23, 2018 |

Par N&B at 68, buy the director's share. Autopass on further PR companies. So if I'm reading the rules correctly, it seems like the only way a company can end up on the bottom row of the market is if a share gets sold, or if the new price of two merging companies puts it there?

The rules state that stock actions are sell then buy, so you can't buy a share of NGC and then immediately dump it in the same turn.

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.

Cthulhu Dreams posted:NGC Operates 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.

Mr. Squishy posted:30x2 surely? It's as the crow flies, not how many tiles you had to lug it. Crap, that's right. This game is a hornet's nest of rules and edge cases I've not encountered in other games. In that case I'll run WNR's F2+F3 voltron'd into an F5 from Ely C8 to Port of Wells. It's 4 hexes in between but 3 as the crow flies so it's 50+90+(30*3)=230. I'll keep the track lay though because eh screw it. Porfiriato fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Jan 10, 2019 |

Mr. Squishy posted:That's no good either. I believe what you're doing is entering E6 from the north and leaving on the southwest, which you can't do as there is no junction there. One of the weirdnesses of '62 is the only junctions are in cities. So on E6, north goes south, southwest goes northeast and no tile upgrades can change that. Looking at it, your best route would be to change the tile lay to upgrading Norwhich and then running from Port of Wells to Great Yarmouth for 230. That's the greatest immediate payout I can see. Man I'm just a dumbass today. I'm about to get on a 12 hour flight but please go ahead do that for me so my incompetence doesn't hold things up any further.
