Is this going to cause another Wallace/Bohrer feud where one's releasing a game without the other's consent?
I don't know but I hope not.
Sorry, wasn't trying to be a downer. This is something I'd be interested in, but I just worry with the current state of affairs between the two that a reprint might not happen even if enough BGG users sign on for it...
Do not worry about it. Back in 1996 Martin Wallace suggested his Consortium Bidding mechanism to me, so I created an entire game to use the idea. After two games (Ferrocarriles Pampas & Veld Spoorweg), I saw that Consortium Bidding did not work, but I did not want to waste all my design work! So, I created a follow-on game, Prairie Railroads, that used only my base game design and some more development work to spiff it up. Martin had nothing to do with Prairie Railroads, Pampas Railroads or Veld Railroads; I left his name on it as he needed publicity back then. He was happy to get the credit, it helped his rep as a game designer.
If the reprint happens, it will be a straight reprint, no need to change anything in the game.
