Overview:

The small garrison of Fusilier Marins of the Cap Gris-Nez coastal artillery battery were assigned the mission of interdicting the road from Calais to Boulogne. The garrison organized a small blockade next to a windmill at the village of Adinghern, one kilometer from the cape. They were reinforced by over 100 French stragglers and also by an AMD 35 armored car with gear problems. Early on the morning of 24 May, elements of Panzer-Division 10 appeared.
Attacker: German (Schützenbrigade 10 and Panzer-Abteilung 90)

2025-12-02(A) Douglas Leslie vs Marc Hanna French winBit of a frustrating game for me as the attacking Germans. The French have a 75mm AA gun sitting offboard at level 3 which can only be silenced by exiting units off a part of the board that it is very difficult to reach and which a competent opponent will have well covered with AT guns. This gun hit its target every time and kept
ROF, despite every shot being at 13+ hex range. Half tracks, armoured cars and infantry were just blown off the board by a unit that I couldn't shoot back at. It inflicted more casualties than the rest of the French defence could manage put together. I conceded on turn 5 and never felt that the Germans were even close to winning.
2025-06-12(A) Steven Cummings vs Richard Marks French win
2025-04-10(A) Todd Cox vs French winGermans lost big in CC. Forfeit turn 5.
2024-11-18(D) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall French win7 hrsAll the German forces went for the village. The French slowed them down enough that the Germans ran out of time. All German AFV destroyed, except one that exited.
