F 14 Campaign scenario observations

Ed, as the designer and expert on this - definitely not my area of expertise, I used his notes during playtesting - should be able to give you the reasons for this. However, in reviewing his notes, he mentions that the British army began its retreat when the French pulled back on the right flank and the German cavalry pushed past their left flank.

So what you are saying sounds perfectly historical. I will say that I don't see the German 1st army being able to move fast enough to completely outflank the British/French left - there is a river to cross and the French territorial div is able to move up to the only crossing points on it before the Germans come close to arriving, and that is the cav - the infantry is slower and there is almost no way that I can see where they can cross the river, a pre-requisite for outflanking the allies, before the British do release in 2 days time. I am running a test now but so far the movement factors seem to indicate this.
