I'm pretty sure your forage values are incorrect.
        Your corps at Breslau, Warsaw and the Saxony corps can forage 
automatically.  I assume they are remaining still since you didn't mention 
them moving.
        The corps at Mecklenburg will start at a base of 3, lose 2 for it 
being winter and gain two for having two movement points remaining. This 
would leave it at a forage value of 3.
        The forces moving to Erfurt will have a more interesting time.  As 
I understand the movement rules, each corps is moved one at a time and 
forages at the end of its movement.  I think this is how it works, I figure 
I'll be quickly corrected if I have misunderstood.  The unit at the front 
of the column heading to Erfurt will get the best forage.  A base of 4, 
minus two for winter and plus one for one remaining movement point for a 
total of 3.  The next unit in line will acquire an additional minus one for 
an additional corps already being present at the site it stops moving, 
leaving it a forage value of 2.  The third will acquire yet another minus 
one for the presence of a second corps at the site for a forage value of 
1.  As the penalty for multiple corps already present caps at minus two, if 
there were additional corps, they would also have a forage value of one.

You might want to alter some of your movement or supply decisions with 
these numbers.
