Nice bit of research, is this trend the same across the rest of the French units there?

Also from the composition of the French forces in the RDF its obvioius the French have seen some pretty hard fighting
The 1st Foreign Legion Cavalry Regiment in the game is described as having 600 men and 24 AFV's. The TOE for that regiment is 930 men plus 48 AMX-10 RC, which would be the AFV in this case. That means they have lost half their armored cars since the war began.
That force is part of the French 6th Light Armored Brigade normally, but that brigade was not part of the forces that saw combat in Germany and the Netherlands during the invasion.
Given that level of losses you can see that the French have had a much harder time of it in Africa and WWIII in general that was thought if that is indicative of the losses they have taken (i.e. a third of the personnel and half their armored vehicles in this one regiment alone)
