I'm intrigued by the 70th ID, mainly because the US Vehicle Guide shows 2000 men and no AFVs, but Going Home shows the 70th ID with 2000 men and 6 AFVs. I am sure it was an oversight by GDW, but an interesting story could be created as to how the 70th ID aquired the 6 AFVs in the span of 2-3 months, as well as why the 70th ID left Austria and is in Ulm, Germany "no longer accepting orders".

I could think of several ways - could be that they scrounged enough spare parts by cannibalizing several old wrecks to get seven vehicles operational. In this case they could be a mix of Soviet, Austrian, Italian and American tanks (AFV are tanks in game terms by the way)
Or possibly they absorbed a remnant unit that had tanks of its own - i.e. Germans or Austrian forces, possibly even renegade Italians or Czechs who joined the US unit.
