Default Re: Armoured trains back again on battlefields

We have been asked to put armoured trains into SPww2 many times. Aside from being a curiosity in a scenario, they are the most useless things in game terms than slingshots. They only have any value if all the other side has is light weapons and unless you can guard every foot of track even just removing track spikes from the rails makes them vulnerable but there does seem to be an archaic mindset at work that is very strange ( perhaps not to Europeans but for sure to North Americans) and the comments made in Russian media about attacking the rail links to Kviv to stop Western leaders from visiting is so incredible you would think it has to be false but this confirms it happened

Ukraine has praised the courage of three European leaders who made a long, hazardous journey by rail from Poland to Kyiv in a show of support as the city came under further Russian attack.

The prime ministers of Poland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic met Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday evening as a curfew began in Kyiv.
What century is this again ?

This was interesting
