There are also boxes and sacks in the WWII German list.

ECW range has a nice range of accessories ( barrels,  baskets and a few cannon balls )

There are barricades in the WWII range - but don't know if they would be too modern for what  you need.

Reading this thread in pieces - so sorry for all the separate replies.

I'm interested in what AWI wagons would look like, as there are already a good number of wagons in various ranges - including SYW

Thanks Steve and Fred, I was aware of the various period wagons but I'd missed the boxes/sacks.

Cheers,  :)

They do say a picture speaks a thousand words. All culled from various Pendraken ranges. The final picture shows three wagon bodies, the las turned on it's side to reveal contents;

Thats a great photo!
The box to the front is the one in the boxes and stoves (and boxes and sacks) in German WII. The large box behind it is a crate from the Dungeon range.

To the right of the tents are the various bits from the ECW pack.

The barricade on the far right looks like it would work for a fairly wide range of periods - might have to get some of these on my next order

I remember this being mentioned long ago, but have lost track if it's been actioned - can we get Russians in holes? Or, more officially, Soviet WWII soldiers in a Trench. I believe there are Brits & Germans, but no Russkies. The ground wasn't always frozen hard...

Nice to see the T35 in there. I think I already voted for that one. I'll vote again, and buy two  :D

Apparently Russians and Americans didn't dig in like those cowardly Brits and Germans :)

I presume it would primarily be a reworking of the existing heads ... though that may just show how little I know!

Not only did I miss boxes etc, I missed what looks like a barricade =)

Thanks DP

Just been reading in Catastrophe:1914 how some of the British guards lost all their kit when their baggage wagons were incorporated into road barricades, then they precipitately retreated (apparently because their corps commander, Haig, was having a cisis of confidence.

I'm really pleased to see the Gangsters so high up on the list, but if/when they become reality I have no idea what rules to use with them.

Maybe I need to start some early research now.

The barricade is 170 in the German WWII list.

Is there any detail of the barricade that wouldn't be suitable for an earlier period?

Gr170 is entirely made up of crates and sacks with a spoked wheel leaning against it. It would certainly work for the C18th onwards.

Warsaw pact infantry please. Just wondered how modern Brit and US infantry? Who would they fight against? Warsaw pact infantry!

A good point.  Opponents are important.  I'm still wondering who the Mongols would fight as there doesn't seem to be anything in the same quality, style or scope.  Open to suggestions. 
Returning to the modern British and US, how modern is modern.  Both looked rather different at the height of the Cold War from what they did at the end, and from what they do today.
I really like the idea of WW1 as a 'project' but until somebody brings out a comprehensive trench system in 10mm it remains an idea - something like the stuff Kerr & King do.

You could try the C16th Turks without muskets and artillery.

I find the kallistra trenches a bit odd - considering the hexon tiles are about 5-6mm deep, I'm not sure why they didn't drop the trenches down a bit, rather than build them up high.

I've actually played around a bit with cutting trenches out of blue foam with a dremel - which is very easy for 10mm sized trenches.

I'm using GWSH for WWI, which is 1 base for a company - so trenches are pretty much area terrain in this scale, rather than direct holes in the ground.
