To be clear, the game story IS fictitious. That was 1 of 2 points that I was told I HAD to make in this video. BUT the story is based on real events. Some Czech boys taking the train across Russia to get home. I guess they took some liberties with the details or something, and wanted it to be clear that elements are fiction.

It's only the tier 1 sniper rifle that has the same range as the standard rifle. Already at tier 2 does the sniper have more range as well as even more with scout's skills and can out-range the maxim guns and almost the anti-tank guns too. You can view each weapon's stats if you hover over them in your inventory or when you select your squad

It wasn't. The LARP is something different entirely. The live action stuff was filmed with the cooperation of Československá Obec Legionářská (a nonprofit organization that focuses on educating the public about Czechoslovak Legionaires, while also doing charities for veterans and such), using their Legiotrain (which is a fully functional train, but transformed into a museum to show what the life of Legionaires was like). Aside of the actor playing Langer, all of the extras are members of ČsOL.

my only gripe is that the artillery car wasn't available from the start or close to it. also I wish there was an alternate firing mode where you could pop all of the mortars all at once or in a line. would've been cool too if we had an innacurate scatter plot firing mode but with more ammo as an upgrade that could clear a small camp by itself.

3 snipers/scouts + 3 riflemen is all you need for stealth gameplay without any ammo shot (which you can sell and do fancy upgrades instead), I was able to buy 4th wagon in the depot for 10K and still lots of items and some money left :D

you know nothing about history if you think taking over Russia ends wars lmao

The Anthony Beevor book the civil war in Russia discusses this scenario. There was an exodus across Russia by train of people trying to escape the Red Army; including a army from Eastern Europe. I don't think historically there was much range difference between a sniper rifle and normal rifle. Just the skill of the shooter and optics. Also anti tank weapons would not be common unless a field gun was handy. Anti tank rifles were large and unwieldy. There was a lot of cavalry still in use at this point but some civilian cars were commandeered for use by soldiers.

Last Train Home is based on the actual tale about Czech troops trying to get home and having to travel the Trans-Siberian railway to do so.

Damn, the history nerds really are picking at zerk for this one

I wonder how is replayability in this game. Seems like 1 playthrough is all.

I know the studio said they were given access to one of the reproduction cars that the Czech government uses as a museum for teaching this history; apparently the guy who plays Captain Langer is a well-known Czech actor as well. My hunch is that, given the subject matter, they may have had a little bit of financial assistance from the government in some way, maybe an Arts fund or something

Stealth is pretty broken in this game, I can solo the entire mission by doing the "ouu piece of candy" trick on all the enemies

Certainly an interesting product, it is.

I'll be honest, I was gonna pass on this, been burned too many times I guess, but this video gave a good demonstration so I'll heavily consider it now. Cheers, Zerk.

It only told 1/3 of the sadness.... For example, where did so much cloth come from? Probably stripped from the dead bodies of boys, girls and youths. In the real world, they only buried older women with clothes and all others were considered waste of cloth if they buried them covered! They needed clothes for insulation, or at least burn them for warmth in the winter!

Why would they go east to get home instead of west?

@czarus_the_sniper9924

7 ай бұрын

Because the soviet leadership declared the Legionaries to be the enemy of Russia, and since most of the Red army troops were still sitting near the ex-frontlines in the west, the decision was made that the only possible way to break through would be the east, since it had enough checkpoints and a good enough railway to accomodate for the number of legionares while offering less resistance to plow through. It was ghe most optimal and logical choice.

Yeah so... first of all, Czechoslovak legion never fought for the reds man, it fought with Russian imperial army against Central Powers (Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany). After the break up of Russia some historians say that the legion fought for the Whites, others say they did not pick any side, however I didn ´t hear anybody saying they fought for the reds. Second of all, it is actually not fiction, it is what you would say heavily inspired by real events as this really happened. But great video nontheless :) Thanks man!

There were several fractions of whites and reds, it was a mess and Russia is really a big country and it was time with no cell phones, so it was everything totaly random before proper bolshevik government was established. Czechoslovak legion was doing what they had to to survive and get out of there. They actually captured leader of whites and gave him to reds. Both sides were criminals and murderers, it doesn't matter if you cooperate with whites or reds in this moment.

This game whooped the fuck out of me. Lazy ass legionnaires wanting to sleep every night! I need them to keep up with the train

I think they should get their money back since you dont even have the decency to find out its not some made up scenario but real live event.
