France '14 - Von Moltke's Indecisiveness - Feedback

Gives you a lot credit trying to prohibit the gamey use of the map edge.

Regarding the campaign scenario, the scenario starts later and only the two most southern German reinforcements would have to be considered. Of them the 2. Reserve-Brigade comes in on the 23rd and the rest of the 1. Reserve-Division on the 24th, what gives 1 respectively 2 days for the German to shift his front more South up to the river Meurthe river to link up with these reinforcements. As that was the job of the Germans with the still running offensive by the German 6. & 7. Armee it would just guide the player along the historical actions. The French will be more worried to be pushed against the Meurthe and will sooner or later retreat to the southern side of the river, what frees any German reinforcements on that map edge from any danger.

Regarding this scenario, as the German offensive of 6.Armee was aimed South basically at Luneville the historical correct reinforcements along the map edge will only guide the German player along the historical path of the offensive, that will allow him to link up with the arriving reinforcements just fine.
Now even with my recommendation for removing some German units and adding some French it's highly unlikely for the French to mount enough forces to crush the German reinforcements on the map edge while at the same time keeping the Germans in the North from advancing. The French flooding back from Saarbourg arrive there themselves and are already in a fatigued state, that means they would need help and would have to move fresh troops there to go on the offensive to crush the Germans on the map edge. Pulling so many French out of the line would only allow the Germans on the map to advance quicker South and link up with the reinforcements hexes likely even before any reinforcements would arrive on map.
It's just impossible to stop the Germans in the North from advancing South while at the same time having enough troops to crush the German reinforcements on the map edge before they link up with the other German troops.


I think the campaign scenario and this scenario could still match regrading the reinforcements and you could keep the uniformity.
Thanks for considering my feedback.
