The current WWI set: cratered ground, trench boundaries, and mission space beneath the aircraft.

Death Spiral Battlefield
A printable WWI battlefield set built beneath Death Spiral dogfights.
Finished prototype sections create the physical mission space for aircraft, HexAxis stands, cratered hexes, trench lines, and hard flight decisions.
Battlefield and assembly
The ground beneath the dogfight.
The Death Spiral Battlefield is the current WWI set. Hexlink is the developing term for the way printed sections may connect or align; it is not being used here as the name for the whole battlefield.
Hexlink assembly
Hexlink names the developing connection or alignment work between printed battlefield sections.
Broader terrain work
The modular construction may later inform other Hexwerks tables, but the current focus is the Death Spiral Battlefield.
Finished prototype
A battlefield built from printed sections.
The photographed table shows the modular surface assembled, painted, and carrying aircraft in play.
Current prototype
Built section by section.
- Modular sections
- Finished photography shows multiple printed sections assembled into one battlefield.
- WWI ground
- Cratered hex spaces and trench boundaries establish the documented Death Spiral tabletop.
- Hexlink
- The connection or alignment work is being developed alongside the battlefield sections.
- Mission space
- The battlefield gives aircraft, stands, pilots, and scenarios a common physical ground.
- Painted table
- Current photographs show the printed surface both unfinished and prepared for games.
- Next stage
- Battlefield development continues through printing, painting, assembly, and table testing.
