OOB Changes for Future Campaigns

The next WIA sim will be a test run of the WIA5 concept. Losses and quality changes in the will not carry over into the overall WIA OOB.  The full WIA armies will take the field again for WIA6: SPRING CAMPAIGN. The I Corps, II Corps and III Corps of each army will be maintained, but there will be some minor adjustments following THE OZARKS CAMPAIGN.
