I changed the sandbags to something like this for sp2ww2 back in 1998 and changed back to the sandbags a couple of releases later for much the same reasons mentioned here. Others have attempted this as well. I went back to the sandbags becasue, in the end, they were easier on the eyes and worked better in more cases on the majority of terrain types

But it never hurts for others to take a stab at this

The new Transparent ones look very good, they actually look like real dug in positions, btw, IIRC you have 4 diferent icons for entrenchments in the file, so you can have mixed Foxholes, Sandbags, Sandbag plus foxhole etc.

Icamp, here is a slight update, i`ve altered one of the entrenchments so that it`s reinforced with sandbags all around (nr.1 on picture). The three other are as before, although nr.2 is partially stacked with sandbags. The sandbags are not highly visible though, they are small and not stacked like a row of tincans at Wallmart.

Imp, yes a 50m hole is way too big, but then so is a 30m long Sherman tank. But if they were made to scale, we would hardly see any of them at all. I guess we have to accept that much on the map is abstractions one way or the other. Anyway, the entrenchments are for vehicles and guns so will have to be made to fit most of these inside, thus somewhat oversized.
