Hi there,

let me start off by joining those who are thrilled to see the new patch and the improvements to the game.
I did spot some things which seem to be 'off' though. So I thought I'd mention them. Hope you don't mind.

Unit 007, AMX 13/90, still has an APCR of 0, which is a problem since it carries mostly sabot rounds for use against afv's.

Unit 90, AMX VCI, should be available from 1/54 but I can't find it anywhere for purchase. (seems to have been the case in the previous version too).

The new legion mechanised company comes with AMX10P's which have a carry capacity of 9. Legion squads are 10 men strong.

While I am happy to see the mech legion cie, there still isn't a cie with their standard vehicle, the VAB:
2nd Regt Etrangere d'Infanterie (REI): 66 VAB, 8 81mm mortars, 8 Milan, 8 20mm AAA, 12 120mm mortars
4th Regt d'Infanterie Etrangere (REI): 66 VAB, 8 81mm mortars, 8 Milan, 8 20mm AAA, 12 120mm mortars
(from the june 89 french obat)

Also the REC is still missing it's SP-ATGM's and has some truck mounted plts added instead. I may be missing something here myself, wouldn't be the first time, but as far as I know the REC is/was similarly equipped as regular army cavalry regiments:
1st Regiment Etrangere de Cavalerie (REC): 36 AMX10RC, 3 VAB, 12 VAB/HOT
vs
1st Regiment de Spahis (RS): 36 AMX10RC, 3 VAB, 12 VAB/HOT
3rd Regiment de Chasseurs (RCh): 36 AMX10RC, 3 VAB, and 12 VAB/HOT
(from the june 89 french obat)

NB french 'regiments' are actually 'battallions' (although somewhat large ones) for those who didn't know that yet.
