 The first phase of the game is referred to as the lorry phase.Lorries can carry two units (unlike barges and ships, lorries do not have to be fully loaded and may travel with a single unit; lorries can also not carry units belonging to other players) and can travel as far as the Newport Warehouse at the centre of the board.Since lorries are cheap and the players start with very little money and few units, lorries are used to build initial capital.
