Transport & Travel

Getting from one place to another shaped more of history than most battles did, and this category follows that thread. It covers the great engineered routes, the canals and tunnels and railways that redrew the map, along with the vehicles themselves and the units and codes that travel runs on. It is practical as well as historical, since a fair amount of travel vocabulary goes unexplained until it matters. The explanations point out why a particular route or invention mattered, which is usually a matter of time and distance saved rather than engineering elegance.
