Yeah we GDW had all active heavy units listed 6-5 scale if I recall correctly...*Shrug* Then again it didn't help that the 1st and 4th Mechanized were more or less Armored Divisions.

1st MID had their 3rd Brigade forward deployed to VII Corps, it was a 2-n-1 mix. But the war role of 1st MID had it going to III Corps with its role in NORTHAG...I always heard that 3rd Brigade would be chopped to 3rd MID, so that would leave a two brigade division up north...hence the talk of cross-attaching 194th/197th or a yet to be named NG Brigade.
