That'll make it difficult for Hermann to hold the bridge, but I think Genoa is more important.
I only glanced at Erlach's army when I was playing the save, but Lothar's is pretty decent. The only thing extra I would ask for would be some more infantry, particularly heavy infantry. Given that Lothar's army is only 2 slots from the max, you could easily give all of Erlach's army, minus two units, to Hermann. One of those two units could even be Erlach himself, since I'm almost positive that Stuperman would want Erlach to be present when Genoa is retaken. It is his County, after all. If he were around now, I would give him priority in fighting it.
