7th Grenadiers @ Virton

"There is no denying that the French are on the offensive there and historically, if I am not mistaken, the end result was the French battering the German 9.Inf.Div to the north of Virton in their attempt to push through. The Germans held and inflicted heavy losses."

The situation is a bloodbath of immense proportions because The French Army in F 14 has very potent firepower and a better command structure than the Germans: Some A & B rated commanders (do the Germans have any?) plus 5 levels of command; Joffre'-Army-Corps-Division-Brigade to only four for the Germans until von Moltke makes his belated entry. I think if you are going to attack early on as the French, you need to go for it ruthlessly and without heed to losses; use those 11 assault rating plus those A & B morale rated infantry to great effect. It is possible to stun the Germans and having done it as the French, I'm very careful now as German commander: Any German player charging in willy-nilly can get his head chopped off! jonny
