Blitzkrieg Challenged: Dinant

Blitzkrieg Challenged: The Battle of Dinant: May 12-15, 1940, is an introductory level game of the battle between the French Armed forces and Germany’s Wehrmacht on May 12th through 15th, 1940. The Germans launched Operation Yellow, the invasion of France and the Low Countries, on May 10, 1940. The German’s 5th Panzer Corps drove the Belgian and French screening forces through the Ardennes forest, then sought to cross the Meuse River near Dinant. A breakthrough here, as well as further south at Sedan, would split the Allied forces in two. A protracted and bloody battle was not in the German war plans...

This is the third game in the Blitzkrieg in the West Series, covering the battle at an operational scale. Designed for 2 players, taking on the roles of the French and German commanders, the game is suitable for solitaire play as well.

The High Flying Dice Games edition features all new graphics by Bruce Yearian.
