The Germans are probably right to think that even if they got close to taking Quatreprouts, any French reinforcements would march in from the SW corner and push them out. They could potentially smash what's left of the eastern French line, but they don't gain any points for destroying French units that would offset extending themselves. Maybe an idea for the next round...

So reinforcements will be coming from a different quarter, I presume.

Why didn't anyone say anything about this in any of my bookmarked threads? Who's going to overplan artillery timetables now?

Much like yourself, the artillery partied too hard, and is arriving late to the battle.

seems like the BEF will stumble upon those germans in Q and get rid of them given current orders, but maybe i'm wrong. i wonder if the french will ever try to have those reinforcements digging in in the NW sprint into F, and if it'll actually happen?

i love how this game apparently changes rules as the war develops and i can't wait to see how the essential 'you can't change your orders without awesome lines of communication' set of rules really starts to bite as we get into the western front proper and people start seeing their heroic efforts clearing no man's land wasted because nobody else can offer support. or that would seem to me like the intended effect, anyway

also is there any way this game/lp methodology could simulate the horrors of the italian front? it's probably the field of action most like the western front (aside from gallipoli maybesorta) but like 5000 feet up in the mountains and with even worse generals, is the vague impression i've gotten

If there's one thing I've learnt from the Battlefield 1 LP, it's that everyone has worse generals.

Loel (lucky 99th) (GM): my main thing is I hope we're entertaining the observer thread
cuz man no one is posting there
my dad (Corps Commander) (GM): Same

Also the French want you to know you're "in for a treat relatively soon".

I was tempted to post in response to this post in the faction thread

I started with "Oh yes, we are entertained :allears:"

And was almost tempted to follow up with, "Just wait till you see what Trin has in store for you now." Which would be spoilery. It's super easy to do!
