  Battle of Tannenberg (1914) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Tannenberg of 1914 was a decisive conflict between Russia and Germany in the first days of World War I, fought by the Russian 1st and 2nd Armies and the German Eighth Army between August 17 and September 2, 1914.
Hoffmann's plan left a screening force to delay the Russian 1st Army (under General Paul von Rennenkampf) which was approaching from the east, and set a trap for the Russian 2nd Army (under General Alexander Samsonov) which was moving up from the south.
General Erich Ludendorff, the chief of staff for the new theatre commander Field-Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, dated the official dispatch reporting the victory from the nearby village of Tannenberg (Stębark), and the battle is thus known to history by the latter name.

For example, if you only have a 1st Army and one of your units issue a SPLIT command, then a 2nd Army will be formed at the location where the unit was when the SPLIT action occurred.
When the turns are processed, 1 of the militia from the 1st army splits off and creates the 3rd Eruben Army, and the 2 pikemen split off from the 2nd army to form the 4th Eruben army.
So, let's assume that after a couple of movement orders, the 1st and 2nd armies are in the exact same location (let's say its after the 3rd movement order, so one more "phase" is left).

 Books about the Army
The first wave of U.S. Army Special Forces arrived in Afghanistan in mid-October, 2001; a few months later, they had routed the Taliban and taken control of the country.
They are the men--and only men, for women are not allowed to become SF soldiers--who are "specially selected, specially trained, specially equipped, and given special missions and support." The Army Special Forces--known to much of the public as Green Berets--are often the first troops on the scene in a crisis.
Special Forces is replete with Clancy's tough-guy prose: "The overall media presentation of the Army Special Forces has generally been one of contrived crap." And the book is essentially a celebration of a premier fighting force, rather than a critical treatment of it.
