Here's a game where i felt i was leading almost the whole way, thanks to the 15 + 13 combo in an awful early market.
The key decision where i blew it was bidding for the 25 with no extra coal stored, which allowed amitss to buy me out of coal for a turn. Lost a lot of money there, and that may well have been the margin of victory. Should've realized Step 3 would last 3 turns on Germany, so i would've been perfectly fine passing after $30 and taking the 27 instead. That would've set me up as the richest player for sure...
