18xx Reference
I have created this page as a summary to various articles available
on this site and on others. Instead of creating a long page of such
off-site links, I shall simply suggest that you take a visit to the
site created by Lou Jerkich,
Lou's Games Corner,
as he has already created a worthy list of 18xx and railway game
related links. Thanks Lou.
Also thanks to Keith Thomasson as he maintains
the 18xx Rules
Difference List, if you play a variety of 18xx titles then this
is the one useful link to know.
If you are looking for more discussion
on 18xx games then I would suggest that you join the
18xx Mailing List,
where you will find a good number of 18xx players and enthusiasts.
The mailing list is free and very easy to use, you don't even have
to join to view the discussions and it seems to have replaced the
rec.games.board newsgroup as the point of focus or contact for 18xx players.
