Builds

TTYF! continued their progress south-westwards along the valleys and, while IMPALER TRAINS network grew closer, they decided to run parallel and at a distance. HEDGEHOG built an arm to the east of Bucaresti and then headed north into the mountains, omitting to notice where they had finished their previous construction. ROMANOV RAILWAYS built south and west into the industrial heartland and oilfields of Romania. IVOR & Co. continued to radiate arms from Bucaresti, but appeared to decide to build north. Or west.

GM Notes

IMPALER TRAINS built Timisoara - G17 - G16 last turn.

Please check your builds. This turn someone built from a hex he hadn't reached. He only wasted one point but the potential for loss is there.

Timothy Hunt has had to withdraw due to pressures of work, but Pevans is taking over Ivor & Co.

Die rolls for next turn are: 6, 3, 4
