India Rails - Available Loads & Cities on One Page with CORRECT Loads

This is to replace the INCORRECT player aids/listings in the latest edition's rulebook. This Excel spreadsheet has the CORRECT Available Loads and Cities on one page (like the ones included in the rulebook) See Scan of printed sheet here:[imageid=515900original]

India Rails New Edition - Correct Available Loads Listing on Excel

This is the CORRECT Available Loads listing for the new edition of India Rails. It is done on Excel and you'll print 2 lists per page. The listing included in the rulebook is incorrect, per Mayfair Games. See scan of my listing here: [imageid=515788original]

India Rails Worksheet on Excel

This is a worksheet to help you keep track of your demand cards' cities, goods, and locations. The sheet can be printed double-sided. You can fold in half and have 3 little worksheets to a 5.5 x 8.5 inch page. See sample: [imageid=512263medium] I did the sample in black & white but the shading is green on the actual file!!
