Much talk these days about puffy from CV's.  Back in the day, were the trains of death. But then, I was new, and was probably doing it all wrong.

Yeah, back in the day stumbling across a train could get you killed pretty darn quick.

Beautiful work.  Love the Hi tech Creations Railway passenger cars.  Now for marshalling yards, trestle bridges and tunnels and routes all over the maps!  Could be great for both the strategy guy bomber types and the more tactically-oriented loco busters.

Very good point and lots of perkies to be had.

Quote
Trains, convoys, and barges are built into the terrain.  Each train, convoy, or barge has a source point and a destination point, and each can be damaged or destroyed while traveling from point to point.  Trains, convoys, and barges automatically respawn every ten minutes.
Destroying a train, convoy or barge will add an additional 7 minutes of downtime to any destroyed field or strategic resource that it supplies. (See table below)
Once a train, convoy, or barge has successfully reached its destination, a new supply convoy spawns.

Quote
The supply targets are the trains, convoys, and barges that resupply damaged fields and factories.  

Assuming the zone city and associated factories haven't been hit a destoyed town building and or field target (excluding hangers) will stay down for 30 minutes.  Destroy HiTechs pretty new train and rolling stock and the destroyed objects stay down longer.  

If you really want to go crazy on squad night you could bomb the city and all the factories, whilst camping a train track, so no supplies get through, to the field you want to capture....or something like that  :devil

I saw a pair of quad 20mm (?) AA guns.  Is that all?   :)

The train looks great, I hope to see it in the MA's real soon.   :aok

Back in the day of the old zone strat system, trains were quite fun.  The auto ack from the trains was crazy accurate and deadly.  I use to use the GV spawns to an nme strat, beat it to death with an Osti, then wait for the train to arrive.  Boom!  Quite fun when I was having a rough night in the air..  Blowing up stuff is fun!
