Something with a 2 anyway. |
Look I hate the numbers from EES (I spent months trying to reconcile them). But i see the logic of how the Writer got there. It really looks like he took the number of pre war vehicles and divided by 6 for rear area (less attrition) and 13 for front line, and 33 for helicopters (the most attrition). Ironically it is stronger than a pre war division man per man as a division had between 18 and 22k.
My solution was to have a virulent flu kill 2/3s of the division immediately after they get lost, leaving them trapped with too much equipment.
