Hit 50 plays on Brass Birmingham and still can't decide if the network building or industry track matters more
I'm at exactly 50 plays now and my win rate is about the same whether I focus on connections or flipping iron mills first. Which side do you lean on when the canal phase is tight and someone else is grabbing the good spots?

...and honestly the more I play the more I think it depends entirely on who's at the table. If there's someone who always goes heavy on the beer routes then I try to grab the iron spots early just to mess with their plans. But if everyone is fighting over the same couple of industries I'll pivot to building out connections in the middle canal phase since those end game bonuses can stack up fast. The real key for me has been watching what the player to my left is doing because if they start blocking your network you're basically stuck with a bunch of unconnected mills that score nothing.
