Sorry Leg - but its obviouis to anyone who looks at the order of battle and the number of men that they have taken casualties and thats why their units are smaller.
Those units were deployed in 1995 prior to the war breaking out in Europe. And frankly whats in another version doesnt play here.
The RDF was written for V1 and thats what we have to use. It was never rewritten or brought up to date for that different timeline.
And if you read the actual history of French deployments in Africa they have taken casualties in every one of those deployments.
Plus the FAR was meant to be sent to hot spots, kick butt and take names. You usually dont do that without putting a lot of your own guys into body bags. This isnt a REMF unit - they are the tip of the spear.
And the tip of the spear usually gets pretty bloody doing its job.
