Trench Raiders - World War I Skirmish Wargame

Trench Raiders is a wargame of skirmishes and raiding in the trenches of World War I.

Gathering information and pressuring the enemy lines, as well as patrolling and trench raiding were part and parcel of the front line in World War I. Trench Raiders focuses on this core, and often overlooked, aspect of combat in the Great War. Designed to be played with forces of 10 or so figures a-side, Trench Raiders features comprehensive d6 based rules for trench based skirmishes for both competitive and solo/co-op play. A key component to these rules is the robust trench deployment system which allows players to make defences and fortifications to their exact specifications. Also included are army lists of the Western Front, a multitude of scenario types, and a campaign system so that your raiders can progress and develop over the course of the war.
