Hmm... I haven't looked too closely at your Land Train (it looks good
from the discussion, though) but I did just notice a reference to
anti-tank shots. Huh? ust curious, but where are these coming from?
All the other battlecannon & autocannon in the game seem to have been
converted to FP... sure, I guess that means there's a bit of a lack of
AT shots (barring the Land Raider) but I'm not sure that justifies
giving 'em to the Squats. Still, it *does* look nifty.

Also, the Mortar should really have the Heavy Barrage, with 45-125 cm
range (as per Imperial Seige Arty), while the Engine should have the
same 60 cm Mega-Cannon non-artillery shot as the DoomsDay Cannon on the
Leviathan. The bolters probably shouldn't count as batteries... yeah,
that makes the Dragon battlecar even more useless, but, um... hmm. How
the hell do you handle a War Engine with a close support weapon? Seeing
as the "assistance" a War Engine lends is based on it's current DC?
