"Operation Nordwind" Challenge Tournament
Tankers!
The prizes for this month's Challenge Tournament total more than 55,000which is nothing to shake a stick at, if you can assemble your men and wrestle away your share of the loot. So bring your best five-man team to the fray!
You may recognize the name, "Operation Nordwind", from one of our recent weekend events. If you're a student of World War II history, you'll recognize the significance of this particular operation; it marked the last major offensive of German forces along the Western Front and was the turning point of Allied superiority in Europe. We hope to see some of the same boldness in our Challenge Tournament that must have been present during the bitter fighting that took place in January of 1945.
