BUILD-YOUR-OWN ARMY:
The Army Brigade is used as the basic building block.
A Western-style Army Brigade will have about 2,500 men in it (give or take).
Western ("NATO" or US-style) Brigades will have 4 vehicles in a Platoon.
The point costs here reflect a Western style Brigade.
Eastern-Bloc style Brigades have three vehicles per Platoon, and number about 2,000 men.
Eastern-Bloc Brigades are 1 point cheaper to reflect this.
Technically, you can buy MORE Eastern-block Brigades, but they will be about 1/3rd smaller then their Western counterparts.
The Examples:
Some examples are given to explain equipment/kit and tech generations (ie: "Professional" (1985-2000 gear):
Mechanized Infantry Vehicles: BMP-3; Bradley; Warrior IFV). These are presented to give you a ballpark idea of what type of equipment is exemplified by that tech and equipment level. It does not necessarily mean that EXACT vehicle must be used. Bear in mind this is a different world with its own history. You can use "something LIKE a Bradley, but called the "M-5 Dark Horse IFV" or whatever.

REPUBLIC OF FRANCE
by Andy Johnson
L'ARMEE D'TERRE
(French Army)
Note 1: Although the French military was not an active part of NATO, France was dedicated to the defense of Western Europe. The 1st French Army during wartime was assigned to CENTAG while the Rapid Action Force was assigned to NORTHAG.
Note 2: France can mobilize and deploy its forward forces in as little as 8 days but would need 14-21 days to complete the entire mobilization. France maintains 28 days of war stocks.
Note 3: French Armor and Infantry Divisions are about one half the size of a typical NATO heavy division and the light Armored Divisions are about one-third the size.
Note 4: French Regimental designations for Armor: Chars de Combat (RCC), Dragoons (RD), or Cuirassiers (RC). The Infantry designations are Infanterie (RI), Groupe-ment de Chasseurs (GC), Regiment de Marché de Tchad (RMT), Infanterie Etrangere (REI or DBLE - Foreign Legion), and Infanterie de Marine (RIMa - historical designation). Artillery is Artillerie (RA) or Marine Artillerie (RAMa). Combat Engineers are Genie (RG) or Foreign Legion Engineers (REG). Armored Recon are Hussards (RH), Light Cavalry is Chasseurs metropolitains (RCh) or Infanterie Chars de Marine (RICM), and the Foreign Legion Cavalry is Cavalerie Etrangere (REC) or Spahis (RE). This last designation commemorates colonial Arab cavalry. Long Range Recon is Dragoon Portes (RDP). Helicopter units are Helicopteres de Combat (RHC) and Groupe-ment d'Helicopteres Legers (GHL). Support Regiments are Regiment de Commande-ment et de Soutien (RCS). Airborne forces include "Parachutistes" within the title and a "P" within the abbreviation. Mountain or Alpine troops add an "A".
