THE TRIDENT TROPHY COMPETITION

[willow]

It was a gamble. Thought I'd get those shrek teams into the building before you'd see them. Big miscalculation - on the first turn no less

thought I would mention - when you have the choice you dont want to fire schreks or zooks from buildings. That backblast will actually pin the shooter. I dont think piats have that problem.

COMBAT FOOTAGE (mixed sector) - John B50's Panther halts Sherman probe..

The Sherman was lucky to survive; it and its mate are reduced to a crawl by the rocky ground and unable to manoeuvre .

COMBAT FOOTAGE (woods sector) Kawaiku's German squad gives payback..

My Brit halfsquad saw the Germans running through the trees and opened up on them..
Bad call, Jerry was a full squad and fired back, wasting my boys..

Thanks a lot! I should have remembered that, but may not have. Looks like they won't have much chance to get a shot off anyway...:P

COMBAT FOOTAGE (mixed sector) - Wombat's panzer punishes Sherman..

For turning its back on him..

COMBAT FOOTAGE (city sector) - Mad Baron turns up the heat..

His German flame guy dishes it out against my Brits in the building..




While in the mixed sector village his well-concealed schreck guy nobbles my probing Sherman..

Malitz Trophy was good fun, but the Trident Trophy map is outstanding. Like playing 3 games in one! So many options...like the recent use of even assault boats(''Wunderschiffe'')...!!??...brilliant!! Nearly as fun as the game-play itself, is POS's regular posting of all the various game screenshots and running commentary!!! It really keeps you glued to all the action going on!

Everyone wants to win, but even losing in these competitions is a fun road to travel, in the end.

My hat is off to POS! (And I can't wait to see what he might come up with NEXT...!!!)
