RE: Any consensus on F 14?
Yes, you are right. The Allies have a very tough situation because they have to recognize if and when to fall back and, most importantly, where to send reinforcements. As you say, the Germans have to find the weak point and keep pushing in and around it. The tough part about it is that you have to think in advance.
In PzC you can usually get away with reacting to the situation on the fly because of the mobility of your mechanized formations, but in FWWC you have to plan in advance since it takes time to put it in motion, and once in motion it is difficult to reverse (which is why the better planner has a better chance of winning too). I personally have spent several F14 scenarios where I sent a particular unit one direction, then counter marched it back the other way, and then sent it back the other way and I ended up committing it no where. That sounds like real WW1 generalship! ;)
