We also add the 14th ACR for XVIII Abn Corps. There are still an excess of those vehicles, which can be used to replace losses of other vehicles.

So which U.S. vehicle/s would assume the "assault gun" role?
Speaking of which, it's not really an assault gun- more of a conventianal TD, really- but Chalkline came up with a cool idea. The German army would likely up-gun it's old 90mm gun-armed TDs with 105 or 120mm guns. Actually, I think he also suggested true assault gun conversions employing Soviet 122mm guns instead. Either way, it's an intriguing idea, especially for a fan of the old Jadgpanzers and Stugs of WWII.
