I guess I'll be the first to ask: what exactly is a baggage train and why would it decide the outcome of a battle?

A baggage train is a collection of an armies equipment not actually used in a battle; tents, tools, field kitchens, supplies, personal belongings, etc. It would also include grooms, slaves and camp followers.

I have no idea why losing it would automatically decide the outcome of a battle.

Seconded that, but if your wagon train is destroyed, the battle might stil be winnable but the war (with that particular army) is lost. If it is in enemy teritory I am not even sure wether they would survive to get back to their own teritorry. How could they advance without supplies?

That said, I think the wagon train should have more effect on an invading army then a defending army.

I also like Myth's suggestion of the sneaky general attack. It would be cool when the enemy general is left behind in his tent and you can kill him.
