THE TRIDENT TROPHY COMPETITION

[PoorOldSpike]

CURRENT LEADER BOARD (March 1st)

I was going to keep the scores secret til the end of the tourney, but more and more competitors are asking me to post the current standings, so to put them out of their misery here are the POS-beaters in descending order -

RNL Tiger (total vic 90-10) = margin 80
Lord Bane (maj vic 83-17) = marg 66
Marshall666 (maj vic 73-27) = marg 46
JohnB50 and Owl (maj vic each 72-28) = marg 44
Colonel Talvela (tac vic 67-33) = marg 34
Odies (tac vic 65-35) = marg 30
Das Tiger (tac vic 64-36) = marg 28
Feldfebel and Jobu (min vic 59-41) = marg 18
Huzaar (draw 52-48) = marg 4
Elltee (draw 51-49) = marg 2

So RNL Tiger is the current front runner to lift the trophy.
But there are still 11 more results to come in before the tourney ends midnight March 31st..;)

POS record so far - Played 14, Won 2, Lost 12

RNL dominated in all sectors, my tank-heavy force lacked the infantry to flesh out the line across all 3 sectors.
As in most of my Trident battles a lot of my purchase points were soaked up by the expensive Fireflies I had to include in my tank force as insurance against any heavy German armour that might show up.




My two Shermans at bottom centre were forced back by Hetzers and infantry-power, I had to keep backpedalling away from their longish-ranged panzerfaust 60's and 100's




I committed these two Shermans to the city but they were overwhelmed by RNL's faust-toting infantry and a lurking gun..




I only had a single Brit infantry platoon in the woods and it stood no chance (beat-up remnants ringed)..

Some earlier RNL Combat Footage -

My Sher 75 got the first shot on this Hetzer, saw it ping and immediately chickened and slammed into reverse before it could fire back...I'm getting a bad feeling about this..




This Hetzer forced my Sher 75 to panic-reverse earlier, now the Hetzer gets a kill against another one...




Aargh I knew the gun was there after seeng it ages ago, but completely forgot about it and walked my Sher 75 straight into its line of fire and it lets fly with a wicked pointy shell..
