There are quite a few stray edits in sections 5xx. The best is on page 222
Switzerland officially remained neutral throughout WWII but was invaded by the British in May 1940
Later a brief 143.0 appears and then some 251 sections

FYI, here is Frank's reply:
Actually most straight infantry corps don't gain any strength when they form up. German, British, and US 6-4 corps are formed from three 2-4 divisions each. British 4-4 corps are two 2-4 divisions each. The three 1-2-4 German divisions that make up a 4-6-4 corps gain one attack factor when they form, but mostly because there is no simple way to divide a 4-6-4 corps in thirds.
Remember that the game is a corps-level game, not a division-level game. The strengths we work with most often are corps strengths. Armies are multiples of those (with some modifications) and division are fractions of them. Since those fractions don't always come out even, we tend to round down on the division strength, because we don't want a corps to gain strength when it breaks down.
I think Gordon might have added notes to an old posting of the older rules.
Can't really see anything missing from this. At first I thought that the Finns and Swedes were missing tank divisions but I see that the Swedes have a motorized one and the Fins have a 3-2-6. The only oddity I noticed was the 4-4 Swedish infantry corp are formed from two 2-4 divisions and don't appear to gain either an attack or defense strength point like other units do when formed up. I would have thought they would have been either a 4-5-4 or 5-4-4 but then again, I am not an expert or have the game related knowledge to make that decision.
FYI, this section begins with the following disclaimer: A note to those previewing the ETO rules: this section in particular is still very much a “work in progress.” It is going to take a lot of time and mindshare to complete because, in the end, we are trying to create a “one stop” section for each nation where all of its special features and rules are referenced in a single place – sort of a “super appendix” assembled nation by nation.
And I am attaching here my "preview" formatting via the three Arctic nations. If something is missing using this template, THAT I would certainly like to know about at this time, please. Thanks!!
Just trying to be helpful.
I thought we made it clear that section is still being formatted and is very much under construction. Please let us actually complete it first! :D
