PP-locations in the St.Vith scenario are incorrectly named in the Reports tab. One City is named twice, another one, that has a yellow dot on the map, not at all

There is no such thing as "Nachtruppen" in the German language. Please correct to "Nachschubtruppen" or what ever they shall represent.

Not very common today, but there is such a thing. Probably short for Nachhut-Truppen (rearguard troops).
It shows how deep Vic got into the Battle of the Bulge, using contemporary battle report terms.

Adelung, Johann Christoph:Grammatisch-kritisches Wörterbuch der hochdeutschen Mundart, Seb - Z, Leipzig : Breitkopf, später: Breitkopf und Härtel, 1793 - 1801.
Die Truppen
, [711-712] sing. inus. ein gleichfalls aus dem Französischen les Trouppes, aber bereits seit langer Zeit, entlehntes Collectivum, Kriegsvölker zu bezeichnen. Truppen werden. Die Truppen ausrücken lassen. Die Truppen in Schlachtordnung stellen. Die Reichstruppen, Kreistruppen, Hülfstruppen. Die Vortruppen, der Vortrab, die Nachtruppen, der Nachtrab. Man gebraucht es alle Mahl, entweder sehr unbestimmt von Kriegsvölkern überhaupt, oder von der gesammten Kriegsmacht eines Herren, oder doch von einem beträchtlichen Theile derselben. Kleine Hausen Soldaten bekommen, wenn sie bestimmt bezeichnet werden sollen, den Nahmen der Truppen nicht. Übrigens ist das Franz. Trouppes gleichfalls von unserm Trupp.

Bis zum 18. Juli wurden die Nachtruppen des Korps auf die Linie 2 Kilometer südlich Livorno - 4 Kilometer nordwestlich Fauglia - 7 Kilometer west-südwestlich Pontedera zurückgedrückt.

Nevertheless: u are right, then. Thanks for correcting me.

Status: offline 		A "Nachtrupp" is a word, that mainly only exists in its singular form. There is no plural like "Nachtruppen"

Compare "Nachtrupp" to the word rearguard. I am german native and never heart of "Nachtruppen" (plural) in my whole carreer of wargaming or reading military books. The word might exist in some strange lexikon of the wehrmacht but it isn´t and wasn´t used in broader sense, I can assure you.
