edgars Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Having trains would add some eye candy, especially armored trains, but somehow i'm pretty certain, that no, there won't be any trains in CMBB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu-40 Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 How many armored trains there were in WWII? Were they common in Europe? I know in Finland we had two armored trains I belive, I don't know if they ever saw battle, though. Does anyone know where I could get more info about armored trains used back then? :confused: Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 I just read last night that it took 78 trains (of 50 cars each) to move the 6th Panzer Division from France to the area of Stalingrad in November of 1942. These trains, contrary to regulations, were formed up as 'armoiured trains' with the tanks ready to either fire or dismount, troops in each car and flak covering it. I don't know if they would be considered 'armoured' or not, or if armoured only refers to those trains with the specialized turrets and such, but it was great to read the account (Tsouras, "Panzers on the Eastern Front") of moving a division by train, and the problems they faced.
