The first time I was surprised how fast I took it out.  The last time I won't repeat how bad that battle went and it was on low setting with the new battle limit thing on and lets just say I turned that game off and went to play something else before the battle was over lol

what the hell is this? which battle did it come from?

[A. P. Hill]

This is a rail mounted siege cannon that fired 8 to 10 inch rounds depending on the gun mounted.  In early 1862 General Magruder had one in front of Richmond during McClellan's drive at seven pines / fair oaks.  During Petersburg siege Grant mounted a 15 inch mortar on a rail car.

I am unfamiliar with mounted gun use in any other battle including Phillipi. (sp)

But it was a thing once or twice.

My avatar is Frederick Lander riding down that steep hillside in Phillipi. He's an old family friend from the railroad days; my grandfather was named for him and my nephew still bears his name. . 

He was at Phillipi, the armored train wasn't. 

And I hate having to kill 'Neo-Nemesis' every time I play Phillipi. Which means its a great game challenge; it's fun.

The Armored Train makes it's first and only appearance in the opening level for the Union.
