France 14 - Now where is that HKK 3?

[BigDuke66]

Well what a quick search brought was that at least the Bavarian KD was slightly off the eastern map edge on the 11th August and that the 7. KD was even East of the Bavarian KD but by the 20th the situation seems very different.
See this map:

It looks like the German line was much further back but the text indicates that the French 2nd Army bumped into advancing Germans so that the German where further than the map shows, but besides that you can see that the 8. KD was in front of the 5. & 6. b. ID who are the most Western forces and the b. KD was North-West of the 31. ID what is the most Eastern force in the "1914_0820_01s: Von Moltke's Indecisiveness" scenario.
The HKK 3 itself isn't on the map but I assume it has be be somewhere near it's subordinate units.

So for "1914_0820_01s: Von Moltke's Indecisiveness" it's likely that at least the 8. KD & b. KD should be there, with the 7. KD coming in not before the 21st August as it was noted that it stayed South-East of the AOK 6 on 20th August.


For the campaign scenario "1914_0822_01s: Home Before the Leaves Fall" the HKK 3 should start on map and it should withdraw not later than mid September leaving the Bavarian and 7. KD in the West, the withdrawal of the 8. KD is already in the withdrawal list of that scenario what makes it very likely you intended to have it in the scenario right from the start.


Maybe interesting too is this graphic showing th French 1st and 2nd Army:
