And the simplest answer is often the correct one.
Unless the GM wants to use them for some purpose as Rae indicated.

That could also be the unit that pushed the 8th into Latvia - i.e. attacks the 8th and makes them move all the way to Riga before the 8th finally makes its defensive stand and wipes the 140th out or hurts them so bad that whats left just falls apart into deserters and marauders.

So you get why they are mentioned but not detailed and also why did the 8th go so far east instead of being more westerly in their final position.

Except that there's no indication anywhere in any of the books that the 8th was "pushed". We also have from the V1 Players book:
Quote:
The initial drives were successful, with two US divisions breaking loose and conducting deep penetration raids into the enemy rear area.

While the 8th Division (Mechanised) headed for the port of Kalingrad and a link-up with the Free Latvian Army...

There's a number of other threads scattered about with more information and discussion on this and other relevant topics.

The 139'th and 141'st MRD were both destoyed in Manchuria China so I think thats where the 140'th was sent too.

(From Soviet Vehicle Combat Handbook pages 93 and 94)
