Those look nice but I can never get past trenches that are really walls. Trenches need to be recessed or they just look wrong. Consequently, I never use trenches…. |

If I can accept a flat table with a cloth draped over it as rolling ground, I don't have any problem accepting this kind of terrain representing a sunken trench. I don't understand what the Kickstarter is for, though. All of the products appear to be available on their website. |

Glad you enjoyed them John!. (smile) Amicalement Armand |

@Extra Crispy: based on a whole bunch of pics from WW1, it looks like most trenches had about half their "depth" coming from the dirt dug out and piled up. |

There were whole areas where trenches could not be dug into the ground. Consequently, the parapets and parados were all above ground. French Flanders, with its high water table, was one such area. Many parts of the Eastern Front too. Robert |

French Flanders? I think you mean Belgium… |

Trenches built above ground are called breastworks. |

French Flanders refers to an area of northern France that stretches from the Lys River valley (Armentières near the Belgian border) down to the La Bassée Canal, including Fromelles, Neuve Chapelle, Laventie, etc. The breastworks were still referred to as trenches. Robert |
