Were is the river IJssel?

On the Dutch section of the game map exist the (Overijsselse) Vecht instead of the much broader and strategical more important river IJssel. Why? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJssel The river played after the Battle of Leipzig as element in the defence of the French homeland a main role in the defe...
