Depends on the front, on the Eastern front for instance they used long lines of continuous trenches, and in Italy at the Gustav line.

Also remember Hurtgen forest in the west. There trenches were fairly common.

True, however their impact was a lot smaller than say during WW1. The last thing you want in EiR is both sides getting a stalemate, each in their own trench section, shelling the crap out of eachother for over 30 minutes.

Would make for some interesting replays. Heavily arty dependant players on both sides dash it out in a ww1 style battle

[AmPM]

Hence why the vast majority of capture points will be on the unguarded flanks or between the lines.

It looks good, a couple concerns:

those trenches tend to cause infantry traffic jams because they are so narrow so ya gotta be careful with em.  THe map also looks very large; how does it compare with Ardennes Valley in size?

It depends how many entrance points he has on the back side... he could make the trenches a wall facing the enemy, ie have the land on the enemies side slope up to the trench so that side doesn't get the bonus and have the defending side get the heavy cover wall.  This would also stop defenders from running up and occupying the enemy trench early and using it against the attackers.

Hmmm?

[AmPM]

Was tempted, but I might just widen them.
