THE TRIDENT TROPHY COMPETITION

[PoorOldSpike]

What made this one tough (but interesting) in some matches was no way to react to a setup by your opponent. What you stuck into a sector was on it's own for better or worse.

Yes mate, every game was interesting at first but for me the novelty quickly wore off because quite often there was a big force difference in each sector, meaning one guy was certain to win by weight of numbers, so we didn't get evenly-balanced battles.
I definitely liked Malitz better because that was a straight fight between same-sized forces every time.
Also, the Trident map is nothing to write home about, each sector is too narrow with no room for wide flanking movements, very cramped.
Even worse, bazooka/ piat/ schreck teams can unrealistically use the trees along the river banks like Ho Chi Minh trails to infiltrate deep into the enemy rear and clobber his tanks, I should have foreseen that when designing the map..
So when Trident is over I shan't be sorry to see it go; I'm already pining for the vast open spaces of the Russian hinterland (below)..
