The Dragon (Division 15 Set 3) mounts two linked Heavy-Duty Flamethrowers. At first, you might think that the fire rules work against this car.

“Check seperately for each incendiary attack, even if they occured in the same phase– but linked weapons of the same type are combined into one attack.” (page 10)

If you hit with the linked weapons, you’re only going to score a single flame marker. That’s no better than a pair of standard flamethrowers can muster….

The trick with the Dragon is, let your gunner fire one HDFT and let the driver fire the other. Each HDFT gets its own fire roll then. If you hit with both and score at least 6 points of damage in each attack, then you have a pretty good chance of nicking 2 flame markers!

And two flame markers are of course much better than one. Even if your opponent rolls “Remove one fire marker” at the end of the turn, he’ll still take fire damage.

Keep on Duelin’!
