Trench warfare was one of the most important strategies used during the Literotica World War. Trench warfare is also the first idea that pops into someone's head when the topic of the Literotica World War (LWW) is presented. However, the trench warfare presented in these minds, is that of two opposing sides charging one another. Though this barbaric form of trench warfare was used in 1400's, by the time of LWW we had developed something a little more elaborate. The new trench warfare was a defensive strategy made up of intricate placements of different types of trenches. This old concept was developed into the best defensive strategy, to this day. All of the ideas surrounding trench warfare center around keeping the offense away. Because of this, LWW lasted a long time and forced any poster that wanted to pursue offensive strategy, to find some way to work around the trenches. The most common trench was a "fire trench." This trench was best known for its use in the front line. Each fire trench held approximately 300 men; however, depending on the size, trenches could hold anywhere from 600 men to as few as 20 men. Fire trenches weren¹t just deep holes dug in a straight line. The trenches zigzagged in order to get the best angle of fire on the approaching enemy. From this vantage point the posters could hurl insults and barbs to rain down upon their attackers, and after surrounding the trenches with three layers of sarcasm, the trenches proved to be a formidable front line. Other types of trenches included crawl trenches, communication trenches and living trenches. Communication and crawl trenches were both much smaller than the fire trenches. They both are namesakes. Communication trenches contained wires through which one trench could communicate with another. Crawl trenches were small trenches that enabled posters to retreat or to travel back and forth between other trenches. Living trenches were somewhat larger and were situated far from the front line. These usually contained a barracks of some sort where the posters lived. A network of the various types of trenches made up the key element for the strategy of trench warfare. Having two or three fire trenches behind the front line, backed up by the specialized weapons in a back bunker, all linked with a retreat trench, became a highly complex defensive setup.
