RE: France '14 - Von Moltke's Indecisiveness - Feedback
Finished playing the version of the scenario from patch 1.06 and while it got a lot better and incorporated a lot of my feedback it still needs some work.
The only big problem are the arrival positions of the French & German reinforcements, the graphic in my first post shows were & when the Germans should arrive, the French likely a the same spots some turns before the Germans as the French were falling back.
Why are the current positions a big problem?
Because currently there are too many French & Germans coming in at a too small area, this leads to the scenario playing out like a Verdun scenario in which the French forms a defensive line running from the Moselle East and then South to the Marne-Moselel canal, The German can't do that much except attack that line and push it back but that only leads to the French line being driven back but by that also getting shorter, deeper and more dense what makes it futiel to hope for a break, as said it's like Verdun.

If the arrival positions of the reinforcements are corrected, the German units removed that did not take part, and the VP locations adjusted the scenario will not only use the map to the south edge but it will be much more dynamic & mobile. The French can't easily form a solid defensive line but has to decide where to set up a defensive positions for delay and where to set a final holding line that is far enough back but not too far to loose too many VPs. The German has to decide if he tries to break such delaying positions and if to break the final French line in the attempt to catch the high VP locations in the South while still covering his flank up to Metz.

I adjusted the feedback in the first post for the current(1.06) version of the scenario.
