WARGAME TERRAIN AND BUILDINGS: WWI Trench Systems

1-227760

From the initial choice between stand-alone pieces on a mat or a fixed, bespoke layout, through to final detailing, experienced modeler Hardy gives practical advice on building your own trench system.

He considers the differences between British, German and French trenches, which differed in design and construction, as well as developments in defenses through the phases of the war. A trench system is not just the trench itself of course, but also the dugouts, barbed wire entanglements, sandbags, gun emplacements and pillboxes. Shell holes and shattered forests are also covered. Each element is explained in step-by-step detail, illustrated with numerous color photos and there are also reference photos of real trenches. Includes 250 color illustrations.
