Looks like the Germans are planning to have their spotter plane go overhead the moment the game starts. Will this occur before deployment or after the troops have been committed to their start positions?

It has been fun watching them almost get it twice, then rapidly back off each time. They're going to look magnificent as they march straight down that road... One of their brigade commanders is sending out cavalry scouts. The look on their faces will be magnificent when they come around the ridge line.

Oh this oughtta be good. The Germans started to realise they had a big hole in their plan...then, for the third time, brushed it off because clearly the French could not possibly do that. They're sending their spotter plane to totally the wrong place. Of course, when they see precisely zero armed Frenchmen coming up the south road they're bound to work it out eventually. Let the clusterfuck begin!

The French are just blasting the Germans off the road. It's a bloodbath.

Trin Tragula posted:My reading is that the BEF is on a hiding to nothing if it tries to advance alone and without the cover of darkness. I guess we're about to find out whether that's so! Entirely historically appropriate for the BEF's first combat deployments in 1914. Especially the bit where they're ordered to shore up a wavering French line by marching to places that turn out to be full of Germans.

I know the German thread has calmed down, but their salt should be noted and taken into account. Trin is hoping to run 5 games, and the Germans in particular are already having trouble getting their commanders to put orders in. It might be funny from here, but we won't see future games happen if everyone quits because the double-blind mechanics keep making them think the scenario is unfairly rigged against them.
