That cavalry starts the game with 90 fatigue, has no support and if you try to use them for anything other than scouting for your infantry advance they will soon get into serious trouble; although the German player better be aware of them and the propensity by some players to go for a ride. jonny

The problem is that in order for the fatigue and their vulnerability to matter, the German player would need to both know where they are and have anything in the area to stop them. As you can see, the southwestern part of the map is thinly held. The Thorn garrison could help, but if it needs to go there, it can't help XX Korps. Edges of the map can be problematic, and in this case the actual defenses along the Vistula and other rivers in that area are abstracted in the sense that there are only a limited number of defenders and no off-map units will respond to a threat.

Credit where credit is due: the scenario designer did a good job of not placing any victory locations directly in that area, which does help.

Every German unit trying to stop/find your cavalry from breaking through makes it easier for the infantry to break through.

Anyway, I'm thinking about starting a game as the Central Powers and another one as the Russians to see how it goes.
