I own 1850 and in 2007 managed to play four 4-player games of it. Our group enjoyed it each time. We also enjoy 1870, which is one of our most played games,...
Look here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/1850_PBeM for a currently active 4 player PBeM game of 1850. I have had to "unlearn" some 1870 rules but I can...
I requested to join the 4 player 1850 email game. Player cooperation is often needed to float companies when there are five or six players in the game because...
1850 was, I believe, made before 1870. It has a lot in common. But the track develops more slowly, there is no destination run and runs tend to be a less...

... Actually, I am pretty much unwilling to play 1870 because of the endgame, while I think it isn't a problem in 1850. Maybe it is the playstyle of the...

Has anyone heard if the steam Packets for 1825 are still to be published. I have the ones from 1829, but would like to get updated ones. In 1829 northern board...
No Steam Packet kit has yet been published for the 1825 game. In the meantime, you can see a couple of variant ideas for making use of ports in 1825 by going...
We played a game of 1825 last week (all units, all region kits) and we used Lou's Port Variant. IMHO it works better then the original port rules in 1829. Give...

Ronald, I'm glad to hear that you liked my Port Variant. We just played 1825 this past Sunday and all enjoyed using it as well. Even though some companies are...
I was explaining the rules (of 18Scan, though that's not very relevant) and encountered a difficulty. I said that bids for the start packet must be a multiple...
