I’m building an armored train, which will serve as the centerpiece for my Soviet army for Blitzkrieg Commander. I first got the idea when I encountered these models at a shop in Akihabara, but became convinced to take the plunge when one of my gaming partners, Robert, mentioned that a railroad track running across teh table would make for a great piece of terrain (in progress, Robert!). I have no idea what I’ll do about rules for the beast, but am sure I’ll come up with something.
I plan to add a couple more pieces to this train. Another flatbed and a massive engine, which UM is scheduled to release next month (?).
After playing a few games of BKC, I realize that trucks are essential for getting troops into position quickly, thus the GAZ truck. I wish two things: 1) that these were more plentiful, and 2) that they were much cheaper. I’m not buying anymore until those two criteria can be met.
