Every May, the good folks at the MHWA set up their long weekend of HUZZAH! It started as a minis-heavy gaming convention and has expanded to other tabletop games, as well. But lets face it, it’s the minis that look the best on the table.

In The Trenches is a series of games that depict platoon level tactical combat during WW1, and offers a good selection of scenarios and forces from many of the involved protagonists.
Each hex represents 100 yards and each turn 5 minutes.
The series so far consists of two base games (this being one of them) and four expansions, all of which require one of the base games to play.
‘Doughboys’, as you might expect from the title, is about US Army actions set in 1918, and has three scenarios that feature a mixture of US infantry and light tanks in both defensive and offensive battles.
