Here's a map I built today. It's a WW1 trench warfare scenario made as a response to a request by player ForestBurger with some input from others. A collaborative effort, so to speak, the tank model's paint job was cleaned up a bit by player Winston. Thanks for the help! It was a lot of fun to make this while drinking my coffee this morning and then playtesting it with various groups over the course of the morning and afternoon. I'd been wanting a WW1 trench map since I first discovered AoS. Enjoy!

Found this amusing old game by the author of Dwarf Fortress this evening. It's called WW1 Medic and is pretty hilarious. Aspects remind me of AoS a bit. Check it out here: http://www.bay12games.com/ww1medic/

in some future update would be trench guns (WW1 shotguns) for more intense close range combat and barbed wire.

Please don't overcomplicate this game, I love how simple and yet deep it is in it's sheer simpleness. I love how 99% of the players still don't know how to properly build a bunker and teaching them that cover has to be two blocks high. I love telling Deuces how to change their names, I love sneaking into the Green base and marauding their bridges/bunkers/autism buildings.

Trench Guns would strengthen some players in close range combat while over mid and long range they're weak, which is where the strengths of the rifle lie. This could make for an interesting dynamic if you'd spawn a third of the players randomly with a trench gun and see how it plays out.

Barbed wire on the other hand... well, it's not a block and there's nothing like it that you can recreate in the game. Of course the amount of barbed wire one can have and carry must be pretty limited, else you'd just have entire parts of the map sealed off with it. I think of barbed wire functioning this way:

The space blocked by barbed wire is still passable, but you'll get badly hurt when on the other end.

Barbed wire can be destroyed by hand grenades, making the two you have even more valuable and forcing players to learn how to throw them properly.

That is all. Thanks for reading. :3
