  It depends on the color of the roundel (They, like gouttes, have individual names for each tincture).
   
  Or, called always Bezants.            Vert called always Pomeis.            
 Argent  ,,    ,,   Plates.                  Purpure ,,    ,,   Golpes.            
 Gules   ,,    ,, Torteaux.                 Sable   ,, either Pellets, Ogresses or Gunstones       Azure   ,,    ,,    Hurts.                  
   
  If you use blue/azure roundels, the blazon would be "Azure, a wolf rampant within a bordure embattled hurty."
   
  You might also consider billets (rectangles) as a strewn charge.  They were commonly used in period and easy to draw.  The blazon for that would be "Azure, a wolf rampant within a bordure embattled billety azure."
   
  Finally, realize that Teceangl's suggestion works with your original submission as well.  See which you prefer a chief embattled hurty or  a bordure embattled hurty.

What Tostig said. I'm flattered that my analysis was of use.

That's a correct blazon, by the way, Ulrich.

You need another CD since you have one already. You might consider
powdering the field (you know, like powdered sugar on toast) with
charges such as crosses crosslet or mullets or billets, all three of
which were commonly used in period for that purpose. That would create
a second CD under RfS X.4.b. for adding a charge group to the field.
Another good and period change that would add a CD is making the
bordure semy of roundels (the most popular charge on bordures in
period, period) or crosses, mullets, or any other simple charge that
you like, preferably azure to reflect the field tincture. Adding a
group of charges on a bordure (or any other charge on the field) is a
CD by RfS X.4.i. It's also exceedingly period so your wonderful style
wouldn't be ruined.
