GM Notes

Please write your orders with the three builds on separate lines – like in the report.

Please send orders for two games one two sheets of paper, or far enough apart I can get the scissors in and have something readable at the end.

The WIDE rivers are not crossable: Preston is the lowest bridging point, ditto Carlisle, Newcastle, Stockton, Goole, and Lancaster on their respective rivers. You cannot build from M8 to M9, from S7 to S8, from U5 to T5, or indeed Millom to S5. You cannot build across the various lakes in the lake district (the thick bits). You can build the humber ferry, from the south, it costs 5. I think that covers all the points.

Next turn’s builds are 4, 5, 4
