F '14 Flanders campaign German reinforcements deployment issue

[burroughs]

Yes, thanks Ed; I was only - and still am a bit - puzzled (but not surprised as a matter of fact) with your numerous attempts to discredit certain details and circumstances of my approach yet at the same time admitting to refuse to read what I had written. I think I'll also skip further comments here then in a likewise manner.

Nevertheless, I couldn't restrain myself:

" ... town of Ypres. Once sufficient forces could be brought up, Sir John French had a plan to use this bridgehead position to launch an offensive towards Menin and then, perhaps, on to Lille ..." - an excerpt from the situational description of the 1st Ypres scenario, "The Salient is Formed".

So let me ask a rhetoric question: again - what was wrong with my BEF offensive towards Lille?
