To actually put the materials in the baggage train, you have to "make
armor/weapons" (orders #444/#448).  This is a rather " BAD" idea, since it
takes another order to put the armor/weapons on the troops.  Depending
on your situation you may want to use the troops as cannon fodder and then
just recruit new troops- specifying the type af armor/weapons you want in
the required info. blanks.  But, if you need these troops to be "good"
right off and you have the orders, then make the stuff and upgrade your
troops.  Keep in mind that you have to make them on one turn and won't
be able to upgrade until the next.
