Let's just assume I'm dead set on getting the game; is there anything I can do to make this a less dominant strategy? I just saw in another thread the idea of decreasing the value of shipped coke to 4F, which seems like an easy fix.
I can't help you with strategy, but you might want to take a look at another one of Rosenburg's designs: Ora et Labora.
Ora shares Le Havre's penchant for combinatorial craziness, but takes it to the nth degree (and, in doing so, lacks a linear "coke/steel" strategy which is a bone of contention many have).
I actually enjoy Le Havre more, especially with two, but Ora et Labora is the largest VP sandbox you're likely to ever find.
Here's a decent review that put me onto the title originally (despite it being so damn negative ;) ).
