Finally got this game. Leaning the game and doing a first play with the Baron Solo rules is a brainburner. Probably made dozens of mistakes. Suddenly realizing i build Baron turbines where he had no network for some reason... or i actually energized one of HIS buildings... my brain couldn't handle it apparently xD Anyway watching this video was very helpfull in getting some things streamlined. Hope in a few games everything will go a bit smoother and i can focus more on my own game instead of learning the Baron rules!
I really wanted to like this for solo, but the constant checking for where the automa places rails looks tedious. After 4 hours, you seemed to indicate you did not enjoy the solo (something about rather eating glass...)?
Isn't the top city classed as part of your network as there are printed rail links to and from the coal area creating links down to where you have presence
01:27:00 Shouldn't he had to build a rail instead of taking a regular turn? I see another energize and another industrialize tile in his row. Just asking, seeing this without reading the rules first (so apologize if I am mistaken).
no worries! I’m anxious to finish watching to see your thoughts at the end 😃.. 1:20:19 - Baron would have built the lab in the top right white city before the red placements. (It’s connected to a power plant)
2:33:00 @chuckcase1023 Would Baron build rail at PreBnitz -> Marienberg vs Bautzen -> Dresden since Prebnitz has the higher # city? Or is it the highest number city that has one of Baron's buildings/mines/turbines?
1.28 you play baron for a turbine placement instead a rail placement, because he had 2 energised symbols and 2 industrials symbols on it so he CAN'T Play that tile for a normal turn but for a rail turn and because he had no money you skip entirely his turn. In fact he can place a rail !!!!!

4:08:26 That Milestone marker is not for every energized building, it's for every city in which you have an energized building.
perfect moment for this one, I just started to learn and this is extremely helpful!
02:07:35 and shortly after that (replacing it towards Orange city) the placing of the mine seems illegal to me as it is not in your network I believe.
1:14:30 Wouldn't the Baron build in Bautzen as it has the higher city # and is within one of its networks?

I think you are wrong. The coal markets are not used for network purposes

Yes, Baron should have built a rail here
48:01 - The Baron will choose two options from the develop list. Not the same option twice. … sorry, I missed this while watching.
Ya know, I THOUGHT that might be the case but it was t clear and I wasn’t sure. Thanks for the clarification on that!👍🏼

2:31:18 -- Baron gets VP instead of income track advance … so 2vp (1vp per bump that would have been income)
