I've always thought it would be cool to have WWI scenario games.  I think people would be forced to sling a lot of paint and find new ways to accurately launch gernades into their opponent's trenches.  Demolition teams could clear "barbed wire" in no-man's-land to prepare for enormous charges at opponent's trenches!

What were you usuing? A garden spade?

The best technique is a pick-axe to loosen the soil and a shovel to pull the soil out. We dug a 20 foot long trench, 2 feet deep and almost 3 feet wide in about 45 minutes.

Same tecnique, but we spent 3 days... 5 feet deep, 3 feet wide, and about 50 feet long. Then the rain came and we learned the water table was about 2 feet, our drain system was no good.

Study how the WWI trenches were made, you can find diograms of them showing how the drainage was done. And check the water table, don't go below that.
You can go far with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.

One of the bases at the field I play at, Command Decisions Paintball, is a mock firebase, and the whole center tower is encircled by trenches. http://www.cdpaintball.com/firebase.html

Apocalypse near Madison has a field with a series of trenches, actual bunkers, and a tower.  Interesting field, but it gets annoying.

On my friend's old field we built a series of fox holes to protect us as we climbed to the back of the woods and a really awsome trench that we could crawl through and have the perfect backdoor into the other base.  The holes could no be seen unless you jumped in them and the trench was invisable but still the other team found them and used them against us.  Be wary of their use.

My local field has a trench field. It works really well, lots of fun. Just be careful of drainage.

Be careful of drainage, they could probly fill up with water pretty well.

Also be careful of animals taking up residence.

I have dug a couple foxholes out at my house, they're the perfect place to hide, when the grass gets long mid-summer, noone will find you.
