A WWI project the "Spieltrieb Frankfurt" guys are doing for the Tactica in Hamburg this year.
It´s called Kaiserschlacht and there are some nice pictures of their work found here:

Teutonic efficiency at its best

I know where I'll be next Saturday.
Hope it's droolproof

The insanity of European gamers is inspiring and glorious!

That is an awesome board - I especially like that the trenches seem to be a realistic width; many model trenches are far too wide, to accomodate oversized bases on figures. Nice.

(note that for ordinary 28mm figures, I consider any base over 20mm wide to be "oversized"... I'm aware this is a minority view, but apparently the makers of this awesome board agree with me!)

Added a link to some more photos including miniatures and the sketch.

Some specials:
The guys are working since october 2009.
A part of the table is interchangable to display an english trench before and after heavy shelling.
The whole table has a soft decline and no visible seams.

What an absolutely fantastic board.

I loved the ingenious way you separated the terrain sections, and the "before and after" bombardment idea. Make sure you take loads of pictures at Tactica and post them!!

What an excellent set up. I love the trench system. THough I feel sorry for the models that have to go "over the top" as I fear many won't be on the table long.

Stonking stuff, now that I have gone into the details. Museum stuff.

Simply perfect!

YES! THIS IS A TRENCH SYSTEM!

Great work, very stylish.
I will see it at TACTICA

I packed extra batteries for my camera and wiped the memory card. Tactica can come.
