I did a scenario dump and grabbed a lot of the information and pasted it here. I haven't played this one yet but it looks like a good one.

Scenario design by: Rob Kunz
Inspired by Barbara Tuchman's book of the same name, Avalon Hill's "1914", Todd Klemme "France 14", Tom Porto's "Home Before the Leaves Fall" (excellent! Far more detail than this version, with an outstanding Documention, which helped greatly with my design), with thanks to all previous WWI designers!
Please see the attached Documentation for an excellent set of several Maps from the West Point Atlas series.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:
Note the dates on the hexes from Liege to Chateau-Thierry, indicating the historic progress of the German First Army.
The Germans win an automatic victory if Paris falls, and a chance of total victory if the Germans enter the outskirts of Paris.
DESIGNER NOTES:
By the third week of the war, the Entente forces are is disarray and suffer a Shock loss, and the German Army has an increase, to reflect the rapid sweep of the German right wing toward Paris. But by the sixth week the German Army has lost momentum and French, aided by the BEF, rally and establish a stable defensive line on the Marne River. Shock and Supply parameters are adjusted on Turn 7.
PLAYERS NOTES:
GERMANY can, of course, win by taking Paris. Historically this became unrealistic after the von Schlieffen Plan was thrown off schedule by the unexpectedly stubborn resistance by the Belgian Army. So it is this scenario. You are now faced with the modified plan of crossing the Marne River, and cutting off the French Army
Note the dates on the hexes from Liege to Chateau-Thierry, indicating the historic progress of the German First Army. A remarkable rate of march, and the Germans receive a Movement Bias boost for the initial period.
FRENCH: Historically the French squandered her resources by Plan XVII and attacking from Nancy toward the Saarland to recover territory lost in the Franco-Prussian War.
Much will hinge on a skillful delaying action in Belgium, and subsequent withdrawal to the Marne River line.
