1899 Rules Clarifications and Admendments

If you have any further questions then please ask and I will include them into this document. Please address any comments to me, Chris Lawson. It is also advisable to read the 1830 Rules Clarifications and Admendments by Steve Thomas to answer any generic 1830 questions.

• The three whistlestops (in hexes L6, E9 and AA8) count as $10 revenue. They must be included in a route if used; just because no value is printed on the map does not mean they can be 'skipped' or ignored.
• Column AA is not marked on the map, it is to the right of column A.
• There are two spelling mistakes that I know of on the map. The Private Company in S9 should be XzS not XsZ and the word Deisel should be Diesel.

• The home base for the Tsing-tau cannot be upgraded from a Yellow #57 Tile. Any upgrade would be illegal due to the surrounding grey or sea area.
• The home base for the Shi-jia-zhaung cannot be upgraded from a Green #15 Tile. This is due to the surrounding grey area.
• There is only one Brown #63 in the tile mix because there is only one hex, R8, where it can be placed. It is illegal to place this tile anywhere else.
• The stations on the Brown #98 Peking Tile are not adjacent. You cannot run a route through Peking, it can only be used as the start and/or finish of a route.
• When hex S5 "A" is upgraded from a Yellow to Green Tile, the revenue does not change, it remains at $30.
• The upgrade path for the two hexes E3 and F4 marked with an "(A)" on the map is as follows.

  Yellow	Green	Brown
  #57	#14 #15	#96

  Please note that you are not allowed to use either the Green #92 Tile or the Brown #63 Tile in either of these two hexes.
• If a Yellow #3 Tile is placed on hex D6, then the Green #91 cannot be used during the game. Only if a Yellow #4 or #58 Tile is used can the hex be upgraded to the Green #91 Tile.
• There is a typo in the Tile Upgrade list, the Green #28 Tile upgrade should be Brown #39, #43, #46, #70.

• The stations on the Peking Brown #98 Tile are considered to be separate cities for route purposes, so Peking can be counted twice (as the start and finish of a route).
