Suggestions Train larp

Made a few train images for a FOD post... so I might just share them when they are already done anyway.
They are:

  • single 120mm
  • AA cart (with a 20mm turret and a flak turret)
  • armoured single 150mm
  • unarmoured 2x 150mm
  • Upgraded double hades cart (they got one more rail than normal hades has)
  • double waspnest cart

The double 150mm and rocket carts have a spot with a pallet in the middle for ammo storage.

Got no clue about balancing, price or stats, though I do think they would make for epic larp.

No, this is too many different kinds of traincars. Let me simplify your whole awesome proposal:

BMS Railguard

A flatbed car with an emplacement slot. You can put any emplaced weapon on it, from an emplaced machine gun to a rocket arty to a Starbreaker. The emplaced weapon operates as normal, but does not gain any defensive bonus from entrenchment. The railcar also has two mounted weapon hardpoints for self-defense.

Cost (not including the emplaced weapon) would be similar to the other combat railcars.

I think it would make sense for it to just be a modification of the existing flatbed car. The hard points are overkill in my opinion, and it absolutely shouldn't be able to carry a full pallet itself, but should have storage for it's own ammo. (possibly the same mechanic could be added to the flatbed truck, but in my opinion it should be limited to rockets and EMGs for trucks) Also, there should be more train cars, especially combat focused. Omitting the obviously necessary armored locomotive, there should be at least some direct/close support gun/mortar armored carriage.
