Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!

They don't even need to have an impact on the game immediately, as long as they can be strafed and go boom!

Though, I'm sure they'll have an impact on something, probably either availability of a resource at a field, or increasing rebuild times for downed facilities.

LOL Hazed!!! I can't wait to see the train in the game too! It will be cool having moving targets (Besides the armor) to attack.
Of course, it will be fun to grab a fighter and just follow the tracks and bounce those looking to attack the train

Might be chance to bring out whole new meaning to the word "logistics" in MA !

If the total supply of materials and goods of a field are drastically affected by whether the train gets to the station or not, there will be players (either organized or disorganized) out hunting it.

And the pure strategic "need" would bring some new definition to where and how the fight is located and fought. Might bring something to appease strato-players effectively.

Of course, it's a big "if" there. "IF", the train affects a certain field enough(drastically and quickly).

ps) Maybe we might be able to move GVs quicker?

Most steam trains burned coal, hence black smoke. The steam trains you've been riding on wasn't one of these dweeby theme park gas fired jobs was it?

Actually that looks like an oiler. The majority of steamers in the late '30s and '40s were oilers. Coal engines put out a lot of black smoke compaired to a wood fired one, but the ones that cloud the skies are generally oilers. Just as coal vs oil fired war ships.

No they don't, beleive me. Most of the "smoke" from a moving steam-train is in fact steam, and should be a light grey colour. I've travelled on real steam trains many times at the Bluebell Railway here in the UK (a private steam-railway) as I used to live very close to it. This black "smoke" looks all wrong to me.
