Hi There!

Hi, I'm a recent addict to "Railroads!"
I somehow found the demo when looking for a new strategy game, and came under the impression this was new for 2008. The demo hooked me...the island with all the fish and the big mountains. I played until I could win with the AI opponent on the most difficult setting.
Then I would look for the game occasionally (I don't get out much)...waiting for it to come out...finally was surprised to find it in the bargain bin for $5...its a couple years old, it turned out. I then found copies on Amazon to send to my Dad and brother, which will be perfect gaming by wifi during the holidays.
I've played one session of SW USA and failed the 1899 requirements (3 opponents)...then started over with 2 opponents and most difficult setting. By golly, I'm learning...I met the 1899 requirements and am going strong, although I'm starting late on the buyouts I think.
Anyway, I started to look for a Railroads! forum to see if anyone plays online, and here I am. I hope to figure out the online thing soon, maybe play this weekend. See you all soon, Erik
