The Creeping Tide - World War One Mod

23 August, 1914
[Lahna and Orlau, East Prussia]:[H2H][HIS][CSL]: Two days after
the 2nd Russian Army crossed the frontier, Martos' XV Army Corps
was steadily advancing towards the strategically important town
of Hohenstein. In their path stood the lone 37.Infanterie-Division,
part of von Scholtz's XX.Armeekorps. At the outbreak of the campaign,
the XX.Armeekorps was assigned the task of screening the entire
southern frontier of East Prussia, and did so to the best of
its abilities as the remainder of the 8.Armee fought the opening
battles of Stallupönen and Gumbinen. By the 23rd, it was obvious
that the Russian 2nd Army was present in force and making a determined
push to cut off the whole of 8.Armee. In any case, the outlook
appeared bleak, especially for von Scholtz whos corps was outnumbered
by Russian units on his front by a margin of at least four to
one. Von Scholtz, given all of the territorial units that could
be spared, redeployed his corps from its initial deployment at
Jedwabno and Ortelsburg to a line Gilgenburg - Kownatki - Frankenau
- Lahna - Orlau, thus making the corps, out of necessity, spread
thinly over a front of over 30 kilometers. Informed that the
bulk of 8.Armee was in the process of redeploying to his sector
to counter attack the Russian 2nd Army, and with the 3.Reserve-Division
en-route to Hohenstein to cover the rear, von Scholtz decided
that the 37.Infanterie-Division would stand its ground. Against
the odds it would have to bloody the Russian XV Army Corps to
slow the creeping tide.[ALL, ESPECIALLY EA] Version 1.2, redid points spread.Must use EA, or it will be too easy for the Russian player to take the objectives.
