So I've recently read that the Germans had the opportunity to encircle not one but two French armies in late August and beat up on a third. The armies in question are the 3rd Army in Verdun with the possibilty of forcing the 6th army out of its fortifications on the Moselle and into an open battle nearby while the Germans also missed an opportunity to encircle the 5th Army facing the German right wing. Is it ASB for the Germans to pull off this combination of blows? If not what would be the impact of such a series of defeats? I read that had the 5th Army been encircle this would have led to the right wing hitting Paris from the north instead of moving to the east.
