Default Re: Armoured trains

Re: Helm
That's pretty much what my proof of concept attachment was about - ugly as sin but covers the bases. By editing a unit within the scen generator one could put together a passable armoured train. A MKIV from above looks a lot like a BP44 pursuit car. The dummy Somua uses the tank transport idea from the Spanish OOB to represent the tank carrying cars.

I am thinking about making a small partisan/train scenario - I'll post it here if/when it's done.

One problem stands out and that is density. Each hex is 50m that covers a lot of train - and a lot of guns. (realisticly 2x75L 1x 4x20mmAA, 6-8 mg and a bunch of squaddies for dismount would be historical) - IF we were to go ahead with graphics, we would need a "generic" armoured train icon at reduced scale spanning a hex width and several "no icon" units to represent the actual firing groups.
