Nery and the Retreat from Mons

About this item

• Following the Battles of Mons and Le Cateau the already near exhausted British Expeditionary Force, who had been marching and fighting for six days without a break, embarked on a nine day epic march across France. They headed back to the safety of the far side River Marne south of Paris rather than to the traditional haven of British Armies – the Channel Ports. Operating with the fog of war resting heaving on them commanders of both sides struggled to fathom the enemy's intentions and only gradually did the German intent of the Schlieffen Plan dawn on Marshall Joffre, while Sir John French, commander of the BEF had lost confidence in his allies and was advocating 'leaving the line' of battle. The army that the Kaiser had derided as being 'contemptuously small' was in fact far more resilient than anyone Choose your platform/edition, then jump in—story, missions, and extras depend on the version.
