Low enjoyability score due to too many turns of movement before combat starts. Even mortars start out of range.

OTOH does this not allow a variety of movement options for players making it suitable for PBEM for those who like to choose their own route to battle? ( and who have the time and patience to do so? )

Not really.

The obvious routes to the objectives are pretty limited and player 2 has more than enough units that being sneaky is not needed. I even stopped moving the units in the north because I got tired of doing so.

Playing as the Germans I went with a simple frontal assault and had no problem achieving an easy victory. It just took a lot of playing time to get there.

I would cut the number of turns down and move the units closer to contact.

Low value of v hexes makes it hard to get a DV from either side. You risk losing from either side if your losses are too high, even if you take most of the v hexes.

You can get a draw but it will be rough.
