RE: France '14 CP opponent sought - apply here.
Yes, I understand. Thank You very much again for all the counselling, assistance and support.I have just read the article You pointed kindly to and must admit that I am impressed with the accuracy of the attempts - the way those were discussed there in theory - to emulate the nature of the conflict.Having had researched a bit the subject myself I was amazed how Piero Falotti managed to incorporate it into his TOAW III WWI scenario and it was seen and felt once You started the hostilities there the different kind of warfare in terms of the game which was designed with a thought of manoeuver one. I introduced a few custom house rules myself into my gameplay,namely, but not solely regarding the cavalry units that in my humble opinion should not be allowed to dig in at least before autumn '14 so as to emulate the situation in which there was still a common misconception present on both sides regarding the inevitability of the final breakthrough which cavalry was suppossed to exploit as the main and on occassion only mobile force available.As soon as I got my hands on the title today in the afternoon I checked quickly a few basic concepts and it dawned on me that the game behaves exactly the way I would have imagined for it and that was done really intuitively.Great job, anxious to fight there.
I also hope that the subject is going to be covered furtherly - the East, Balkan and Italian theaters, colonial engagements in German West Africa for instance would be a great addition I think ( despite all the technical issues like the size of the AoRs versus the gameplay etc.)So far so great.
