Suppose Ludendorff is wounded at Liege and out of action for a couple of weeks. This means that someone else would need to be sent to East Prussia. Suppose it was Von Seeckt. After all, not long after he was made Chief of Staff to Von Mackensen, so there's no obvious reason why he couldn't play the same role with Hindenburg. The only drawback might be that he was only a Lieutenant-Colonel, but OTL he was promoted in early 1915, which could probably have been done a few months earlier if need be.
So we have a Hindenburg-Seeckt combination instead of Hindenburg-Ludendorff. Is this likely to make a major difference? Thoughts?
