France '14 - Von Moltke's Indecisiveness - Feedback

[Volcano Man]

Thanks for the feedback, but I get the impression that you saw that the update is coming "soon" and are trying to put this out to catch it. Unfortunately the update is in the final stages here, so no changes can be made to anything at this point (except for bug fixes).

Also, I don't really know what scenario you are looking at; I have since heavily edited that scenario so it should be looked at again after the update because it is no longer the same (even the map area is different now). Just about everything was changed in it - it got a major overhaul, actually.

At first I hesitated to post this as it's a rather large list of things to correct but as the current scenario does not nearly play out like it historically was I think it's necessary:

Yes, that is the problem. If you mention too many "issues", then it just becomes information overload. It is just the way it is, due to time constraints - if I want to also complete the next game.

Better for you to wait for the update, then redo a list -- only you should make a decision on which items are most important and which are not. I can tell you that I won't be adding the Landwehr formation simply because I don't think it did much but sit around in the rear if I recall correctly, and the user will certainly end up using it in ways that were not historical, especially since there are "issues" occurring off the map to the east that are not relevant here. Also, a unit getting released at 0600 vs. 0400 is simply not an important issue to me, especially since we don't have a 0400 turn, and because we have no maps showing the unit's exact position from 0600 to 0400 in two hours of darkness. It is figured that the movement from point A to B in X or Y turns will factor all that out.

That said, the arrival of the reinforcements along the right side of the map would be nice to improve, since they have always been estimates. However the problem with spreading out the 1.RD too far to the south as separate brigades is that I feel they could be easily overwhelmed (after all, their arrival is the same in Grand Campaign-A, so the French could be waiting for them there), so care has to be taken - and this is also the difference between purely historical versus what is good for the scenario, given the map edge limitations. But maybe I went too far the other way. ;)

But beyond being able to separate the important issues from the not so important issues, and comparing those with the new version, then I will consider all feedback where practical.
