Would love a Guns of August, 1914 Scenario

Western front only, start of war to the Race to the Sea. Would be a perfect way to learn the game without being overwhelmed. Also, I think this is the part of the war that most people are familiar with.

Why not? Job for Philippe... but maybe not in the immediate future, because now he's deadly busy. :(

The Race to the Sea starts after the Battle of the Marne, so from October 1914 onwards in terms of gameplay. This would make a scenario of 2 or 3 turns maximum...is that what you have in mind?

Because IIRC, the 'Guns of August' should start...in August ;) ?

On Matrix forum, someone wrote that such a scenario would be basically playing the GC in 4-players mode on the side of France... ;)

Yeah exactly, you play the long campaign, choosing France (or Germany), and that is what you will have to deal with. At least, if the plans selected by the country involve Belgium.

PhilThib:

I meant: from the beginning of the War through the Race to the Sea.
