As comments and feedback are received, they rules and related files will be updated. After some time for review and comments on the rules, the (new) prototype files will also be released. I additionally hope to have a ps18xx version of the game available.
Primary support and development of this edition will take place on the 1843-playtest-discussion mailing list:

Comments and feedback are welcome.
