Moltke Tactical Problem 35

This series presents in shortened video form the tactical problems Field Marshal Moltke presented at the Prussian Army Staff College. Moltke coined the phrase that "No plan survives first contact with the enemy main body." He believed fighting effectively was exploring a series of options and these options were explored in his Tactical Problems.
In these videos we look at these problems, and their solutions, with the lens of playing wargames well.
This video is about the question, and solution for Problem 35

Definitely not 3, you want to face the enemy force while it’s split and defeat in detail. Maybe 1 is better than 2 because 2 has a small chance of you being caught between both enemy forces
After watching: hadn’t though about the line of retreat, good teaching moment

I like them when there is a fresh point made that I had not considered. Glad you got something from it!
