I think FreeFalling brings up some good points, cairns. I know you were going for a "simple" map here, and we can all appreciate it that from , at this point it's pretty much a race to the center, best dice wins.

Yeah on this one I feel like you can't have your cake and eat it too but I feel that it's uniqueness is in it's simplicity. I suppose time will tell how it all goes though.

After a little research (and a search of this topic so unless I missed it it hasn't been brought up) I found out that "Promontory Summit" is indeed the correct name for where this historic event took place, which was a surprise to me. I'm from 4 generations of railroad men, and I'd always heard it referred to as "Promontory Point". Cool to learn something new and all, but even if it's technically incorrect I still think "Promontory Point" sounds better than "Promontory Summit"
Just curious why you decided to go with 'summit' cairns--I see you originally had it is 'point'.
Anyway looking forward to being able to play this one regardless of it's name!

perchorin, thanks for popping in...
yes i too thought it to be "point", but research advise4d differently so i changed it to "Summit".
I believe "point" was actually a region south of Summit on the Great Salt lake.

perchorin, can you give some feedback if you have time on Rail South America.

And that's why i wanted to mix it up a little with the neutrals, which can still be done, but it has to be done fairly.

Ah...this is way overdue for recyle bin.
