All banter aside.

Me and Bombur would love if we somehow could make gifting of equipment to other nations possible. This of course goes for China, but also for Great Britain. So far we have found no mechanism we are satisfied with, so it won´t happen at the moment... but maybe in the future, who knows.

Oh yeah, and the Chinese get to build Soviet Equipment, it is true. I believe they are able to build some "Rata"s of some sort or another.

When I looked at the combat statistics of armoured trains, they have 0/0 for all target groups, just like trucks. Yet their description says they are "armed with guns and machine guns mounted on wagons." If they have combat statistics of 0/0, a carry capacity of 0, and a rail transport capacity of 0, they seem to be virtually useless except possibly as loss absorbers reducing the chance that other friendly units in the hex would be killed. Is this WAD?

The Armoured train is a brainchild of mine. I meant it to have stats like a heavy tank, and be able to take some punishment too. But I did not at the time fully grasp the combat table, and i thus, did not make it correctly. Bombur has since then modified it some, because I had made some mistakes. In any case, armoured trains are really not working yet. So I would advice not building any.
