Best rules for trench raids 1914-1945?

Now hear me out here.

I have often thought that an adaptation of Space Hulk would be great for WWI trench raids. With the Raiders being the Marines.

Thanks for your comment. I have never played Space Hulk. What makes it suitable you think?

In Space Hulk you have a group of marines exploring the narrow corridors and rooms of unknown spaceships while being assaulted by genestealers that spawn in at various points. And each turn has a time limit on it, so you have to think on your feet and prioritize what to do first before time runs out and it is the opponents turn. The claustrophobic corridors and endless enemies would translate well to WWI trench raid I feel.

The spawning could be useful for solo play maybe

Funny you mention Space Hulk…

I’ve had this on my mind as a possibility for around 10-15 years, since I bought a copy the re-released game a few years back. Still never played the game and most of it is still in the cellophane..

But it immediately got me thinking about a trench version, whether historical or weird, it would work well I think.

It must be a case of great minds think alike.

Tabletop Games had a set of trench raid rules many years ago called Trench!
