Liege will allow you to stretch your attack front against the allies who will have to stretch their forces rather thinly. Its important that initially the Germans deploy on as wide a front as possible because they have overwhelming numbers compared to the French and British. The French will slowly move forces to block you but since they're spread thin, they become vulnerable to a numerically superior German army. BTW not taking Liege may delay not only your advance, but also the collapse of Belgium. Initially the numbers are in favour of the CP and therefore use them to destroy as much of the French army in the opening moves as possible. Though the French will get their reinforcements in Paris, they will have to spread them out in order to shore up their front, which means that a few 3 corps stacks can really break through wherever you want. Also by spreading out, you'll be able to outflank the French border defences and take them from multiple sides.
