i like that idea

COMBAT FOOTAGE (city sector) - Lord Bane pincers out 2 Shermans..
Main pic - there the Shers were, minding their own business shelling enemy infantry to their front..
Inset - when suddenly 2 German squads appeared in their rear and the fausts began flying, followed a few seconds later by a Hetzers muzzle blast at top..
Result - 2 dead Shers for no Ger losses..

RE: THE TRIDENT TROPHY COMPETITION
RESULT JUST IN - Mad Baron v POS = Draw

Mad Baron bought a nearly all-infantry force and it totally dominated the woods sector, but lacked the armoured support to punch in the city and mixed sectors.
Nevertheless it was a close run thing, there were only 2 points between us in the final scoreline.
(I can openly mention the exact score like this because only winning scores stay secret til the end of the tourney)

Jungle fighters - Mad Barons Germans completely over-ran my infantry garrison in the woods sector and wiped them out to a man..

COMBAT FOOTAGE (city sector) - POS metal continues to be invincible

I am beginning to feel like Sarah Connor fighting the terminator. It really is rediculous.

Here a tank gets to close to one of my squads. Two rifle grenades miss, but then the squad throws a grenade 40m... and gets a hit . But no damage. Why he doesnt throw a satchel ... only the wicked CM gods know.

----------------
Next turn, the tanks run away, and park 18m - EIGHTEEN METERS - from my bazooka man. FIRST SHOT MISSES. EIGHTEEN F!@#ING METERS.The tank is broadside and not moving. His next and last bazooka round gets a penetration - but once again does not kill the metal bastard. Immobilization - not the ideal location - but I have a flamer that only has to run across the street and torch him on the next turn.
[Image: zook16.jpg]
So next turn the flamer runs across the street, stops 24m away. Fires. MISSES. ARRRGGGG. Fires again. MISSES AGAIN. Only this time he sets the building on fire and decides to run back across the street and out of LOS

----------------
Next turn. Cpl Coward runs across some pavement - aims - fires - contact - NO DAMAGE. 1 second later he throws down his bazooka.

Stuff like this is seriously bad for my blood pressure. At first it was funny. It isnt funny anymore.

How about you Kelly?
"The guy who surrendered was out of command, his team-mate was dead, he was only regular, the zook backblast gave him the jitters and mebbe he was out of rockets.
As for the satchel guy, he couldn't throw far enough, 30 metres is about his pitching limit.
And on top of everything, the burning building must have spooked the bazookaman and flame guy who were in it.."

RE: THE TRIDENT TROPHY COMPETITION
I had sent POS a screenshot of what my strategy had been in our game, and he recommended sharing it with everyone. So I spruced it up a little more, and present it here. Sorry you will have to click on the attachment, but I don't have that other system everyone is using yet!

I never really expected I would be a contender for the biggest win, so was mainly just hoping to pull out a minor or perhaps a tactical win if things went well......cheers

Oh well, a draw isn't so bad, and it was certainly an interesting map to battle on! ;)

COMBAT FOOTAGE (city sector) John B50's Panther shrugs off Sherman attack..

Main pic - while the Panther (which is green) is shelling the church I order my Sher 75 to race fast to the tip of the arrow and shoot him in the back, hehe..
Inset - the Sher arrives neatly at the firing point with turret pre-set to 3 o' clock and fires twice but both ping off the Panths turret front!
The Panth fires back a second later and wrecks the Sherman..
