What is half range of rifles in your rules? Make the distance in front that so if two are adjacent then are still in range

Cheers

Rifle short range is 9" and effective is 18"

Finished painting trench section. Added some Pendraken loveliness. The figures are on 3mm thick bases, the barbed wire on 2mm thick hexes.

Amazing work, Col. Scott! I Continue to enjoy this thread immensely. Your websites are also a joy to look through. If I may ask what is the web design tool behind them?

Marvellous Michael

That has set the bar very high for me

I think the slopes on mine will be a lot plainer, trying to blend with my desert base cloth
The corrugated iron 'walls' will try and approach this level

They have come out rather well!!

I like the fact that they are so deep!
My figures are usually based on very thin plastic strips so that means I can add 'floors' and even firing steps...cool!!!

Cheers,

About quarter to 11 this morning I went to check the mail and found this package in our porch





The contents



A closer look at the main trench segments



Some assembly required so about 11 I gave Roy, our regular gaming host, a call and he kindly volunteered to help from about noon

I started with a dry run...



I was really impressed by how little wastage there was and how easily all the pieces came away, a lot literally fell out and almost all the rest came away with a gentle push



These are the first laser cut fibreboard models I have bought and I am really impressed

I made a start on sorting the various pieces; 15 for each trench segment. Roy took over sorting as I started step by step assembly.
Once all the parts were sorted Roy joined in assembly with us doing half each

Supports, all 48 normal sections  



First two trench walls



Central trench wall



Central returns, each done separately



Outer returns, each done separately



By now it was about 4pm and we had been working pretty solidly with only a couple of breaks for lunch and a coffee

The weather had been really good, low 20s, which helped the PVA dry fairly quickly allowing us to keep moving on to the next step

That's a lot of trenches - and they look good too.
