Evening all I'm currently in the process of writing up a alternative WW1 (linked into my current ASB TL) Now I've read that Field Marshals John French and Herbert Kitchener had differing ideas on where the Army should concentrate French wanted Belgium and Maubeuge where Kitchener and Haig wanted Amiens. It appears that Kitchener wanted Amiens as it was in a good position to counter any German advancements and that he didnt trust the fort systems in Belgium. My question is if the BEF drew up at Amiens what would be different? (I've used the Search but came up with a blank) In my TL I have the French atm pursuing a more conservative approach in relalitation to the schlieffen plan. Would we see a vastly different race to the sea? would it be better to replace French as the CO of the BEF but who would of done a better job?

Any imput would be grateful:)
