Winter Cantonment Locations...
Hi everyone,
Something just came up in plans for the T2K campaign I am wanting to run here on these boards... just where are the locations of the Winter Cantonments of the subordinate units in the XI US Corps, the German Thrid Army and the British Army units as well... Just where did they spend their winter? I had always thought they spent the winter in North Eastern Corner of East Germany, and this was why they moved along the Baltic Coast to launch their offensive against the Soviets... so... where did all of the fources end up spending their winter? |

There might be some clues in The Black Madonna and Going Home... I recall there are passing mentions here and there in the town descriptions of places where US units have previously developed relationships with the locals.

If we're talking the winter of December 2000, there's actually very little information (at least I was unable to find anything in canon while researching the spring 2000 offensive).
The references in Going Home and Black Maddonna mainly relate to events in 1997 during the intial NATO offensive before nukes were used.

There's next to nothing for the period from late 1997 through to the 2000 offensive. For that matter, there's actually very little for 1997 besides some very generic references such as "took part in the drive through southern Poland" as an example.
I would suggest looking at where units are marked as of the 1st of July 2000, reading over their unit histories, and trying to work out for yourself just how they ended up there. As there was little action in the preceding 12-18 months.... However, the 3rd German Army, of which the US XI Corps is a part, does not have accurate locations for the 1st of July - those shown in most resources appear to be post spring offensive when they were effectively cut off (the XI Corp at least) from the rest of NATO and the 5th scattered all over Poland. Perhaps looking at all the other units in Europe and finding the holes is the best approach?

Unfortunately, the Third World War rules we are using essentially break down after a strategic nuclear exchange. For example, the rules permit no reinforcements, which is not the case in canon.

Somewhere I came upon a details listing of the final areas of most of the major combat units and cantonment areas at the time of the Kalisz battle.
Now to find the damn thing...lol... The Eastern European Sourcebook was pretty good at detailing the cantonments for that area too. Quote:

I did find a couple of good references for the Kalisz battle including one heck of a great map.

The list you've got there is really only the Pact units that have defected/deserted. It's also EXTREMELY out of date.
