playing a germany, one of the big pluses of the schiefflen warplan is that you can cross maastricht and enter belgium avoiding the liege fortress. i have tried several times with my I army but impossible. am i losing something or is it a bug?
if you cant cross holland, i do not see the advantage of the schiefflen plan over the hinderburg one (any bonus on initiative maybe?)
on a more general view: given moltke's low initiative, it is very difficult to get the initiative on the early stages of the WF, which i see as ahistorical. any idea of improving the chances in august 14?
