Fourth US Army less the 35th US MD likewise intends to stay in Germany.
So not including the 8th ID, there's something like 7,000 Amercian soliders intent on remaining in Europe after the evacuation, excluding stragglers from other units.

Something I hadn't really thought about. OK, adjusted question: anyone run or play anything with the Americans left/stayed behind? Such as the three Return to Europe modules?
