Be careful if you don't sell Cotton immediately after building ensure the others can't empty out the Distant Market + Ports before your next turn.Overbuild your nearest rival's Iron Works.Avoid building Coal Mines during the Rail Phase.Build Rail Links early and often for maximum points and to expand your personal network.If stuck at end of Canal Phase, build Coal Mines and take loans, the Coal mines will flip at the start of the Rail Phase, taking you out of the hole.Location cards are more important than Industry cards in the Canal Phase the opposite is true in the Rail Phase.Do not build the L1 Shipyard or L1 Port, period. I posted 25+ bullets on Brass strategy here. Features Brass: Birmingham features a deceptively straightforward rule set which creates interesting gameplay dynamics including a highly innovative variable turn order system and robust gift economy. Some will see this as a waste of a turn, but it can give you a tactical edge when there are few other options available. 60-120 Minutes Brass: Birmingham is a competitive, heavy weight, hand management, network building, economic game. Don't discount the idea of using two cards to place any industry on any city.You will potentially get the tile flipped immediately, and make some money for your troubles. If the iron or coal demand track has a few spaces empty, consider building immediately, to repopulate the demand track.Two of these give you a better return (for far less manoeuvring) than a single ship. The level 4 cotton buildings give victory points of 12 each when flipped. If you opponents are fighting it out for the Shipyard pieces, try to concentrate on the cotton route.
Choose the buildings that offer the most strategic positioning as the ones to upgrade, if you can. Try to get some level 2 buildings in place before the end of the canal phase.Some other pieces of advice I would offer. If you are likely to need a loan at any point during the game (which you almost certainly will), I would advise you to take the loan early. Loans at the very beginning are very cheap to repay, where as loans later in the game can be very expensive. Loans in Brass can be key to a successful game.
