1914_0820_01sA: Clash of Empires (von Prittwitz's Problem) - FWWC 02 East Prussia '14

This is a hypothetical version of the #1914_0920_01s_Campaign_East_Prussia campaign scenario which covers the situation of what would have happened if 8.Armee commander von Prittwitz was not replaced and the Germans did not send reinforcements from the Western Front to East Prussia in late August, and no Russian reinforcements arrive either. Essentially this situation is as if the Germans left East Prussia as it was and OHL did not intervene in the situation: a completely passive strategy where OHL stuck strictly to the warplan, for a greater chance at victory in France (perhaps von Hindenberg and Ludendorff were sent to France). This scenario is identical to the original except that no additional German reinforcements will arrive from France, Samsonov's Fate will not be called into question (and thus, the Russians to not receive the 3rd Guard Division nor 1st Rifle Brigade reinforcements), the Victory Point requirement is considerably lower for a German victory and a moderately higher for a Russian victory, and no Early Termination condition exists. The intent of this scenario is to allow the commanders to explore what might have happened if the Germans did not send reinforcements from France, and how their mission would have changed to a more defensive role.
