RE: France '14 - Von Moltke's Indecisiveness - Feedback
Well my opponent had bailed because of lack of time and I thought I bring it on before the patch to see what of it can make it into it.

I know it's a large list but the most important of it is the initial German setup.

The German line simply didn't ran along the French positions except at Morhange and because of that the German division could concentrate like it's necessary for an successful assault on the French positions, it is also important to realize that the divisions of the 3rd and 2nd Bavarian corps did attacked east of Delme, all this makes a real Schwerpunkt with 3 of the 4 divisions that can form up for an attack and can decide where to strike the line, this is necessary to successfully break the French lines if the French player stays and chooses to fight it out.

And for the course of the battle it would be important to let the German and French forces come in where they historically came onto the map and also only those that really reached the area because the battle developed in a southern and not south-western direction, the area in front of Nancy was always regarded as a flank that should be protected but not more, I didn't see any intention to reach the Mosel with the 6. Armee anywhere, at first the was only the intention to go onto the river Meurthe, and when AOK 6 asked on the afternoon of the 22nd it was informed to pursue the enemy to Epinal as there were still many French forces in the Vosges and another request in the evening to clarify resulted in the order to throw the enemy south and drive him away from Epinal. On the 23rd that intention was repeated by Moltke and it was wanted that the 6. Armee throws anything that can march south to cut off an estimated 100-120k French forces in the Vosges.

I'm looking forward to the changes you made, may I ask if the map was extended to the east?
