Have to say that is cracking - not only one of the best Great War tables I have seen but also one of the best here on LAF. Feel free to lavish us with more pics of pure joy.

Looking great such an astounding amount of nice details and features! Would you mind sharing some more information about the tile making and the casting as it looks very interesting?

Edit: just found the information of the first page - was again too excited to check first  lol

That corrected, is the finished tile sturdy enough to survive wargaming?

Yes.. they are surprisingly sturdy.. They have a bottom of blue-foam (as can be seen on one of the pics and the top surface gets a bit of strength (and texture) from the thin red crust of casting sand stuck in the foam.  

With the air game (In Clouds of Glory) we stick the needles in the end of the flight rods directly into the foam terrain.

But I am currently also working on a WWI late war (1917-18) microarmor set-up using the boards.. Ruleset modified from either Landships! or a unofficial WWI conversion of Big Chain of Command.

Here we play a modified version of  Mein Panzer! on the boards:
