That's VERY nice!
Not "your typical target practice field". Really like the wooded areas and the trenches.
There's a lot of LoS-blocking terrain, which is must for a good Warzone game, imho.

I'd appreciate some notes on making this game table (if you can catch the maker of this). I'm making one of myself and would need some advice. Now that I see your table, I'm looking forward for a similar one. :)

Thanks!

The techniques and materials used in this one are quite simple. 54x54 inch MFD board serves as the base. Ruins in the corner are made using styrofoam ceiling sheets and remains of various styrofoam packagings, painted with cheap black paint. Trenches are modelled in plaster paris (I guess this is how you call this material...), and sometimes covered with sawdust (sawdust is glued onto them using PVA). Some of the buildings are made from wood, some elements of the trenches are wooden too. Some parts of the table are covered with dried lichen.
