adds infantry to his Israeli force.
This new addition to our 28mm resin trench range can be used in three basic ways: as a WWI dug-out, a WWII or 40K command bunker, or as a fallout shelter. It comprises our weapons position model with a separate roof and support.
During WWI, dug-outs provided shelter for resting troops and cover during bombardment. They branched off the trenches, and were constructed from corrugated-iron sheets with earth. This model represents a mud-covered tin roof, and also details the supporting logs. Another of our recent releases has been a 90° bend, which can be used for WWI trenches.
During WWII, trenches were often used to connect bunkers, gun pits, and firing positions. This model can be used as a command bunker with a firing/observation gap. A separate concrete-style model supports the roof, so there is a gap above the sandbags.
This could also be used as a command bunker for 40K. The roof can be raised to 50mm to fit figures with swords, etc… Or it could be used as a personnel bunker (for example, by both sides in the Hurtgen Forest).
Without the roof, it can be used as a weapons pit, and can accommodate mortars, howitzers or even an 88mm gun.
As a fallout shelter, the earth-covering will not burn in the conflagration, and the roof will protect you from a nuclear blast (provided you're not closer than 10km). In the post-apocalyptic era, this model can be used as a base for a gang.
