I can only think of the Schwerpunkt as something that could help us (good call Kage). It might not be perfect, but at least it would be something we could pull off right away if we had the idea.
We could go the Brusilov route and launch a carefully prepared offensive with limited but significant objectives. The Brusilov offensive actually preceded the Somme, and could have taught the British some lessons were liaising between the allies possible.
