Any consensus on F 14?

I agree. The Germans pack a lot of punch but so do the French, and it's a long slog to Paris and environs. jonny:cool2:

"Of course another complication is the fact that the campaign can be played any different number of ways, and any commitment of reinforcements to a given area by either side will drastically change the situation (but that too is what makes it a deep campaign with tons of re playability IMO). Combine this with the fact that player skill in F14/FWWC can play a huge factor in the outcome makes it difficult to work out (someone might lose half or an entire army for example)."

I've always maintained that you can be outplayed tactically and still win if you make better strategic decisions. My experience so far, is that the game is much more difficult as the French: The German player can make his moves much more quickly because he doesn't have so many decisions to make; just point Das Deutsches Heer in the right direction and shoot. The French have to make so many shifts to re balance the position as the bulk of their army begins the game out of position; and the shifts are on the divisional, corps and army level as well. Should the French player not grasp the situation rightly, yes half or all of the army can be lost methinks. jonny :(
