    Got it...shoulda read more

    So then what about a comparison between V or VII Corps (was there a significant difference between the two?) and 3rd Shock?

    We've discussed this before. It depends on what type of battle. If we could even setup a hasty defence, then 3rd Shock and 16 Guards would have smashed itself on our steel. However, if they could get the jump on us, then 11ACR has to buy time for VII Corps to get ready. Failing that, 4CMBG would have delay the army group long enough for VII Corps to get across the Rhine.
