Rail destroying/repairing

[grenvill]

I could not find this information in the manual: what determines speed of destroying/repairing railroads? sometimes it take 1 turn, sometimes more.

I remember reading something about railroad repairing, and if I recall correctly, engineers where faster than regular units on this task

Also armored trains can rebuild railroads while advancing, but I have never tried this way.

Having a couple of units of engineers as a "mobile workshop" is a good idea in Siberia (specially whith those bloody partisans hiding in the dense siberian forests)

From AACW:
Same game engine, so it should work the same

• Destruction of RailRoads is no longer automatic:
  
  • A check is made of D100 <{less than} Stack Strength. +25 to stack strength if attribute “*pillage*” is applied to model
    
  • All Partisans, Indians, BushWhackers, Raiders, Guerillas and Bandidos now have “*NoCapture*|*pillage*” attributes. (All show the Pillager ability icon) Not sure what status of this is in RUS
  • Day of destruction is random. Not always day 1, so if you give a move command, the unit may move away before destruction occurs.
