V Corps



No turn back and too much time on my hands. I thought I'd take a snapshot of V Corps. The same 4 Divisions have been attached to the Corps from the first day. (December 16th....another day of infamy) 

As you can see, in terms of strength its in pretty good shape. The columns from left to right is men-guns-vehicles. (veh=tanks/AAA/armoured cars/M7 Priests)

Even the 99th Division is averaging 500 men per Battalion just about. In fact most units of the 99th are now down to low-mid Green fatigue as is most of the other units in the Corps apart from a few units. (3-38th is one) The 99th even has two complete Bn's of artillery left although no regimental guns. However the most important thing is that the Division has not lost any companies and each Battalion is complete.

The 1st and 9th are probably the best equiped units. 60th Rgt is still fresh althouth now involved in heavy fighting north of Francochamps. The 2nd although battered over the first few days has managed to hold on to most of its armour. 

Replacement rates for armour have been pretty good and I think I'm averaging 6-10 tanks/tank destroyers per turn. 

I've also listed V Corps artillery. I cannot get the total listed for V Corps to match what I physically have on the map though? I have 27 vehicles (18th Rkt/62nd FA) but I do not have 102 guns?) You can see a breakdown of the types of guns I have.

I've also shown todays reinforcements which arrive in the north. All artillery, 4 of which are for V Corps.

So the future looks bright for a push east very soon.....

EDit: ignore the 6am label down by Sourbrodt. That was accidentally left on and has no significance.
