| Twelve hexes in northern France and Belgium either on or adjacent to the coast are Schlieffen Plan hexes. |
|
| This course is an in-depth study of the modern interpretations of warfare, including Clausewitz, Jomini, Hamley, Moltke, Schlieffen, and Foch. |
|
| As chief of staff Moltke's principal duty was to revise the Schlieffen plan to meet modern conditions. |
|
| Neutral Belgium had had the temerity to resist the German advance required by the so-called Schlieffen plan and German soldiers took their frustrations out on the city and its people. |
|
| Taking advantage of this fact, Schlieffen planned to initially adopt a purely defensive posture on the Eastern Front with a minimal number of troops facing Russia's slowly gathering armies. |
|
| The Germans' Schlieffen Plan addressed the problem of war on two fronts by throwing almost the entire German army into a sweeping offensive through neutral Belgium to capture Paris and the French army in a gigantic envelope. |
|
| On game turns 1-5, the Allied player loses one Plan 17 VP per game turn if one or more British units occupies any Schlieffen Plan hex at the conclusion of the Action Phase. |
|
| Would such an invasion have aided the Schlieffen Plan? |
|
| He was the head of a company of the 58th infantry regiment in 1884 before becoming a major in the operations section of the general staff led by von Schlieffen. |
|
| The object of the German Schlieffen Plan was to strike quickly against France, destroy her armies, and then turn against the more slowly mobilizing Russians, on the eastern flank. |
|
| When World War I began, Germany invaded neutral Belgium and Luxembourg as part of the Schlieffen Plan, trying to take Paris quickly. |
|
| One must be alert to the possible distraction of nuclear or cyber versions of the Schlieffen plan. |
|
| Mobilization and war plans, including the notorious Schlieffen Plan, proceeded apace. |
|
| In keeping with the Schlieffen Plan, the Germans withdrew slowly while inflicting severe losses upon the French. |
|
| Helmuth von Moltke the Younger succeeded Schlieffen in 1906 and was less certain that the French would conform to German assumptions. |
|
| Halder's plan has been compared to the Schlieffen Plan, the name given to the German strategy of 1914 in the First World War. |
|
| The first French offensives in the Alsace came to a sudden end, whilst the Schlieffen plan, applied with substantial modifications by young Moltke, ran its relentless course. |
|
| The Schlieffen Plan, based on the assumption that Germany would face a two-front war because of a French-Russian alliance, required a rapid invasion through neutral Belgium to ensure the quick defeat of France. |
|
| The German Army neglected the logistical aspects of the Schlieffen Plan. |
|
| The German Schlieffen Plan called for a gigantic scythe through neutral Belgium into Northwest France, to envelop Paris and the French armies from the west, and was designed to end the war in one blow. |
|
|
|
| German Chief of Staff Erich von Falkenhayn decided to break away from the Schlieffen Plan and instead focus on a war of attrition against France. |
|
| However, they were then assigned to execute the retired deployment plan Aufmarsch I West, also known as the Schlieffen Plan. |
|
| In the end, the Schlieffen plan was so radically modified by Moltke, that it could be more properly called the Moltke Plan. |
|
| In contemplating Germany's famous war plan, the Schlieffen Plan, one can equally well describe it as the product of extraordinary confidence and of enormous insecurity. |
|
| The Ulm Campaign is generally regarded as a strategic masterpiece and was influential in the development of the Schlieffen Plan in the late 19th century. |
|
| Tension had steadily risen after the Schlieffen Plan to smash through Belgium and take Paris by storm bogged down in Flanders and northern France. |
