THE TRIDENT TROPHY COMPETITION

[PoorOldSpike]

COMBAT FOOTAGE (mixed sector) - Stndrtnfhr exposes the Allied weakness..

This pic illustrates a recurring dilemma of Trident, where the only way of stopping enemy Hetzers is to buy Fireflies which can penetrate them frontally.
Here my Firefly gets lucky and kills a Hetzer, but will it kill the next to come along, and the next..?
Trouble is, vet Fireflies cost 289 pts apiece (compared to a vet Hetzers 128) which means buying just a couple of Fireflies takes a huge chunk of purchase points, leaving fewer points for standard 75mm Shermans and infantry, that's what I mean about the Allied 'weakness'.
(The Sher on the left is a standard 75mm, not a chance of penetrating the Hetzer, it can only stand and watch)
16 of the 25 Trident competitors chose to be German, and most of them (gulp) bought Hetzers..
