Overview:

The town of Wormhoudt, occupied by the 2nd Royal Warwickshire, was one of the forward positions of the Dunkirk perimeter. Wormhoudt had to fall to allow the Adolf Hitler Regiment to advance. Those Warwicks covering the approaches, along with the support of the Worcester Yeomanry's 2-pounders, would make the SS fight for every yard to gain time to allow more men to reach the perimeter and -- hopefully -- England.
Attacker: German (SS) (Elements of SS Adolf Hitler Regiment and of the 10th Panzer Division)
Defender: British (Elements of 2nd Royal Warwickshire, 144th Brigade and the Worcester Yeomanry)

2025-08-31(A) nathan wegener vs Dave MareskeA British win4.67 hrsDown to last DR. Got enough exit VP and had 9-1 w HMG sqd encircled but couldnt break him and rolled too high on 2:1 in CC. We played w German balance eliminating the second carrier which i think is necessary as the Brits just have to delay. Grumbler ‘25
2025-08-31(D) Dave Mareske vs Nathan WegenerA British winA tight game that went back and forth throughout. The Brits managed a controlled withdrawal the managed to force the Germans to rush off the board and try to hold onto one of the stone buildings. The Germans managed to get into the building and get to a 2-1 CC with a -1. Needed a 7 to win and rolled a 10. A great game to finish off The Grumbler Invitational Tournament.
