I figure that, in game play, this result would be equate to most of the units being disrupted by then, and some German assaults causing them to surrender after any non-disrupted units are knocked out. Of course that missing 30.5cm siege battery will help bring this about in the next version. ;)

Thanks, that makes sense. Seems like Fort d' Manonville was just one more of the forgotten battles of August 1914.

Nice! Too bad my French is non excistant, but one should be able to decifer some of this stuff. There is a very interesting chronology there, for instance.
