Hi Mark,
Not to plug my own stuff... the answers you seek and a whole lot more can
be had for $20 in great detail :-)
<http://www.battlefront.com/products/books/nafziger/usarmorinf.html>
This is a "cheat" link. I think there will be no problems doing things
this way, but if so... just go to:
www.battlefront.com
and navigate around that way.
