quality metal entrenching tool

[mikebratcher69]

Well... Its mainly for facing other entrenched enemy troops like in ww1.
And to protect from morter fire and direct small arms fire not too good with air burst shells BUT a proper millitary constructed trench can withstand all but a direct hit from a morter and such.
They can also replace buildings as an underground version, less likely to be destroyed by tank fire etc...
The ideal is if you look at a picturesque view of the countryside there could be countless trenches hidden away full of soldiers watching and waiting hidden from sight.
All well and good till it rains for a few days and it ends up looking like the somme.
Useful to us in some ways but ours would tend to be more like a snipers o.p. not a trench.
