Thanks for watching and remember to comment below with your thoughts & feedback!

I love the variability of this. Can't wait for the multiplayer sequel to this when the quarantine ends.

[@kezerk2610]

And having watched this, I just ordered myself a copy. Thank you for an entertaining watch.

[@Heavycardboard]

Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!

[@Apeshower]

I think a solo 18xx is great. Super system 18xx is but can be tricky to get it to the table on occasion for multiplayer. Anything that increases playability without too much sacrifice. Well done on the stream.

[@colinwright27]

Great video (as always). I feel like I have the confidence now to give this another play. Gonna re-read the rules again and I'm sure they'll make a lot more sense. Thanks.

[@el_dani]

Wow hard game (I played 1846 & 44 once) and very nice ending talk!

[@colinwright27]

Really looking forward to watching this (might take me a few sessions). This is the only 18xx game I own and I've tried it once solo. Didn't really know what I was doing. Edit - 80 mins watched so far and all makes sense (and matches what I remember from my single play). I struggled with knowing whether money belonged to the player ot the company so hoping that'll make sense the more I watch.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

I need to find time to play this solo. So looking forward to messing with this!

[@asyncritus]

When you merged the WVR and the L&E, you traded in your two shares of L&E for one share of WVR, but you did not give up half of your existing WVR shares.

[@autoauto2000]

this game makes AoS looks like monopoly, i've ordered my copy today. it is expensive here in germany

[@sethchapman1425]

Feel it starts after teaching. Like it didn't record the beginning. I stepped out to mow lawn and this seems further in when started. Not mad just sharing so you can correct if can.

[@Heavycardboard]

Anytime a stream is over 4 hrs, YouRube takes a LONG time to process it. Check back later and all will be there.

[@sethchapman1425]

@@Heavycardboard you know now that you say that I think I knew that. Silly me.

[@mankala8]

After the WVR merged in the L&E, shouldn't it have gotten 80 or 90 in the company why it ran its locals? 10/hex? And later, in the last two operating rounds, ESR payout got moved from 31 to 24 (because the payout was 124 for 4 shares) So you missed like 28#s at the end. That is a surprisingly low number of mistakes considering the mental burden!

[@e3gh757]

What camera/tripod are you using for the zoom camera? I love that you can set memory location!

[@Heavycardboard]

It’s a custom homemade rail system that I mount the camera too. And it’s it’s PTZOptics 30x NDI camera.

[@e3gh757]

It really makes the experience super enjoyable to watch! Very very cool!

[@e3gh757]

Oh man just looked up that camera...oof, quite a bit out of my price range.... sure does look pretty though!
