F 14 Campaign scenario observations

[jonnymacbrown]

"Well, no, I definitely won't be releasing everything earlier at start, there has to be some semblance of order in the beginning in my mind, sort of a guiding hand so to speak, in order to get the campaign started off on the "right foot". A good example is that releasing the BEF earlier before Mons would likely cause, with hindsight, the BEF to actually go on the offensive towards the Germans, so you end up with the other extreme being possible which is equally gamey in my view because of the circumstances (hindsight). But this is just my personal design philosophy."

Any BEF commander who would leave that practically impregnable position @ Mons to go on the offensive to attack German 1st Army would have to be a candidate for the loony bin. Ed, you have to allow a player there to be an idiot. However, because the odd fool might launch a doomed offensive with the BEF shouldn't mean that everyone else be stuck there when we might need some room to maneuver tactically to protect the left. I can't understand why the BEF is fixed since nobody in full grasp of their senses would want to move it, as a premature move backward would expose the entire French position. :soap: Jonny
