Digging In: The Boer War Earthworks & Hides
When the Mauser bullets start whistling across the Veldt, you don't want to be caught standing in the open! To complement our Empire of Dust range, we are releasing a specialised bundle of Boer War Trenches.
This set is all about tactical survival. It features a system of modular trenches and ingenious "hides" designed to recreate the brutal, static defenses of the stony kopjes. These earthworks were the "invisible" threat that defined the conflict, allowing Boer marksmen to vanish into the landscape and British regulars to hold their ground under blistering fire. Whether you are reinforcing a key position or staging a desperate hillside ambush, these models provide the cover and concealment necessary for a truly authentic wargaming experience.
The frontier is a dangerous place—it's time to dig in and hold the line!
This bundle includes:
- Long Trenches Pieces
- Corner Trenches Pieces
- How to Sheets
Notes
Once downloaded, the sheets can be printed as often as you like, which means you can build up Large Set of Trenches very cheaply.
You will need scissors, a craft knife, glue, appropriate paper and some stiffer card for bases, all of which are described in the how-to section.
The figures are laid out in A4 format, which will print onto US legal sized paper, or will fit US letter size printed at 93%.
You can, of course, print the figures in any scale you choose, making them uniquely flexible in this respect.
You will need to make a stiff Card Base for each stand. Dimensions of the stand is up to you and your preferred rule system.
Our Motto is Paper Trenches, Proper Trenches!
