Armoured trains

[PatG]

I think I've got it - or 75% of it anyway.

To refine my post above:

1) If supported by the code, take the existing tramway and rail terrains and make them passable by unit class 0 - Fortifications.

2) Make all other terrain impassable by unit class 0.

3) Base all trains on class 0 base units. The user will assign a move as required.

Units can be placed on terrain they cannot move through.

Since all AI usable class 0 units have move 0, there will not be any problems with unit placement or trains sailing up the river.

remaining problems:
1) controlling heading.
2) keeping trains together as units.
3) sound is not the best but I can live with it.

Any comments?

Here you go. Moving into independant railcars with the German heavy scout car Infantry car with radio and Pzkw IV 75mm kurz turret artillery car from 1944.

Hi PatG,

You have done quite a remarkable art work!

I just wish to inform you that I probably know a way to do your train move like a train, but I can't start testing this specific technique until I will have completed the development of the ANZAC project (and after that I will also have to assist a friend of mine doing his private project), so you will have to wait for a month or two...

cheers,
Pyros

Thank you Pyros. I have been following the ANZAC project - you have done some very creative work there.
