MINSTREL 398 SEPTEMBER 2015

The 18xx games are on page 2 onwards in the order of starting. Outpost M13 is on p12, St. Petersburg M4 is on p13 and The Games That You Play is below.

New Games: 1856P38 starts below so that Andy M has a game!

David Hooton wrote in response to my comment in the 1829H35 wrap up about his tardiness in “only” starting to play 1829 in 1978. He said …

Spread of 18xx in America

The main factor was for Hartland-Trefoil to obtain an American 1829 distributor, which didn't happen until the summer of 1978. As noted in the 1982 edition of Sid Sackson's Gamut of Games, the distributor was The Games People Play, which also happened to be my local games shop. My local group was playing 1829 a week after it happened. However, 18xx didn't really take off until Avalon Hill published 1830 in 1986.

Tony Osborne also commented in response to the 1829H35 endgame comments but I need to confirm whether all, some, or none, of his message is okay for publication.

I asked for just the one OR & SDR this time thinking that I knew something about what would happen, but I was wrong and we could have safely got further down the road.

So I will try the conditional thing for next time - I am asking to go through to SDR7 but we will stop after SDR6 if a 3 train is bought in OR5, or if there any changes of directorship in SDR6, or if any company is floated in SDR6.
