these were real armored trains used in the Estonian independence war:
for more pictures you can search "soomusrong" in google images
fun fact: my great great uncle was an officer of one these trains

That must actually have been quite scary. While the train itself offers protection, what if the enemy decides to destroy the tracks? You'll be stuck

Not entering anything, but that was quite a lot of strategy games.
Thanks anyway for the train.

Oh, strategies <2 Wish I'd have more time (or I'd actually make money playing games) :')

Not entering, but quite a lot of strategy games in there. Nice train, Fnord!

Ah, the suplex - the Achilles' heel of every armored train.

There is the Gustav train gun. It was used in WWII by the german army during the siege of sebastopol, IIRC

I'm surprised that they did not use more railway artillery. In particular during WW1, on the western front, they had time to adapt the infrastructure to carry it, and it would allow them to hit the opposing side really hard. But then again, if the technology is not quite there yet, it might have been too much of a gamble.

Or just a train full of strategy?

In trying to find a picture of an armoured train, I found a site which I think might just be a Russian propaganda site, going by both the tone, and its very.. erm.. selective use of facts (what was said on it was not untrue, just very selective). According to it we might see more armoured trains from Russian in the future!
