• The scenario was not 'balanced' but as a learning experience and quasi-historical scenario I'd say it achieved most of it's objectives.
  
• Both sides were at various times convinced of their own overwhelming superiority and that of their enemies. This is appropriate to all war.
  
• German advantages in firepower and initial positioning were partly overcome by early French maneuvers, but proved (sort of) decisive.
  
• Attempts to coordinate the Saint Croissant offensive were doomed to failure the moment contact was made with the enemy
  
• After the casualties of the initial engagement I treated 6 division as crippled and became perhaps over-cautious.
  
• 22 division was as a result left to handle the afternoon actions alone while I contented myself with defending a line the Germans never attacked
  

• Acquire a division Chief of Staff in a different timezone to make communication with HQ more practical.
  
• Provide clearer directives and feedback on brigade level planning.
  
• Allow more flexibility from my subordinates, but;
  
• Demand more detailed orders and contingency plans.
  
• Try to ensure every brigade had an assigned staff officer to take over in the event the Brigadier was unavailable.
  
• Institute mandatory terrible poetry classes for all officers.
  

• Require staff planning to prepare Optimistic, Pessimistic and Balanced scenarios for Division and Brigade level commanders to consider when giving orders
  
• Increase sassy propaganda output by 50%, if necessary employing staff officers to draft attack memes.
  
• Mandatory terrible poetry for all generals - high or low effort, so long as the result is trash.
  
• NOT ride a horse to my death by machine gun
  

• Recruit a reliable adjutant.
  
• Try to provide detailed local information to my division.
  
• Never stop posting terrible poetry.
