Given a battle group as in the attached image,
When will the force morale break and what are the odds that the remaining armor will be forfeited. Given no infantry losses.

Question: Does forfeited armor show as captured in the debrief?

Question: Are decimated units less than 50% strength, available for forfeiture?

It takes the loss of 3 Tigers to cause the loss of force morale.
There is no "forfeiture", or loss of two teams selected at random, due to loss of force morale.
p.49 - " If a battle ends because of a morale failure, the Battle Group that flees loses 1-3 victory locations depending on the ratio of the winner�s Force Morale to the loser�s Force Morale. In addition, the Battle Group will lose two teams chosen at random from its force mix as a rearguard/breakout force loss penalty."

The next sentence on p.49 is garbage...
" If the Battle Group was still in supply when it was disbanded, there is a 75% chance that each team makes it back to be added to the Battle Group�s Forcepool."
...because disbanded BGs are permanently removed. However, there is an vaguely documented feature where part of a disbanded BGs force pool can be absorbed into the force pool of a 'nearby' friendly BG. (p.57 - "...some teams/units from a disbanded Battle Group may be absorbed into nearby friendly Battle Groups as long as they are under the same parent formation.")

My quick observation is that no teams are removed from the "force pool" or "battle group"

Like I said - "There is no "forfeiture", or loss of two teams selected at random, due to loss of force morale."
The LSA game manual is, in too many cases, merely doodles on a cocktail napkin.
