5th Division locations

[Adm.Lee]

I wrote some backstory for the PCs in my convention games. I posit that the 5th spent most of 1999 in southern Germany, but I've been vague as to exactly where. I did this so I could link some of the characters to an campaign of skirmishing with some Italian Alpini patrols in the mountains.

My conception of things is that the US deployed 2 armies in Germany, and we see in Kalisz and Going Home that nearly all of the US ground forces aren't facing east. I'm thinking one is facing west and one south, both in the western-southwestern parts of Germany, not far from their peacetime garrison positions. When the 2000 plan rolled around, XI Corps was detached and sent northeast, with whatever fuel reserves had been built up over the previous fall and winter.
