Ok, it has WW2 minies but there were trenches in WW2. It is suppose to be modular and in the future I will add more to it with different shapes. This is my first modern warfare type of terrain piece.

As it is suppose to be modular, here is another trench end that is still under construction.

THanks alot. I use my own rules which is a combination of FoW 40k and Rapidfire (with some of my touches put to it)
This video guide is excellent for finding out how to makg sandbags:

Only 1 man fits inside the width of the trench, how are you able to move soldiers around eachother?

The rules I have is done in squads, so indivisual men don't really matter (save special weapons) If you move them around, you'll have to move out of the trench first and get back in. But really you can just rearrange them and just assume that they move past each other.

Looks good. Is it mostly foamboard it's made out of? You could make maybe a few more sandbags piled around, hanging off etc.. and the barbed wire can be all over the place. In WW1 they would just bombard each other for days, and all that would be left would be mass entaglment of wire. Did you make the barbed wire yourself? I found some great barbed wire, 9m of it for 3 quid on ebay.

Keep it up
