Thinking more about the baggage train as a capture point, I'm guessing there will be a timer associated with it, similar to capturing city squares. Otherwise it would be Game Over as soon as an enemy unit marched over to one. Still, I think losing your baggage train during battle should simply cause a moral penalty to all your units rather than directly costing you the battle. That way there would still be a strong incentive to protect/recover the baggage camp.
The only good thing I see about the baggage train camp dynamic is that, as Hooahguy pointed out already, it will force players to take a different approach to defense than in previous TW games. Whenever I was on defense before, I would just position my men on the most favorable terrain possible. With the baggage train camp being automatically positioned on the battle map, it will force the defender to position his troops with protecting it in mind.
Do we know if baggage camps are only applicable to defenders? That is, will attacking armies also have baggage trains?
