Crossing the Meuse, May 1940, Dinant Belgium

Broke out the terrain boards I used at Tacticon several years ago, with the intention of utilizing them again this Labor Day. If you are in the Denver, Colorado region, end of August, come on down and give it a whirl.

Looking westward past the village of Leffe (left center) towards the village of Bouvignes-sur-Meuse, from the quarry above the river valley

Staying with our westward view, we are now looking at the east end of the great Citadel looming above the city of Dinant (just visible to right and left of citadel). The River Meuse seen upper right

Swinging to the south, we now view Dinant itself on right with the blown road bridge in center. That's the Collegiate Cathedral to the right of debris. Scratch-built to match photos.

View to the east from the heights across the Meuse towards Dinant

Aslo from the west, looking over Bouvgnes-sur-Meuse with Leffe right of center, and Dinant upper right.

Final view is from the north, Bouvignes-sur-Meuse on right, Leffe left, and Dinant upper left. Look for the Belgium bunkers staioned along the west bank, especially the one nestled between the two buildings in Bouvignes.

If interested, you may what to check out the rest of this board by opening my posts on Houx, with the accompaning battle report. You can just make out the figures used in that report in the upper right of the above photo.

As was the case years ago when I initially took this to Tacticon, I expect some interesting engagements to be played out this year. Enjoy!
