Fascist France: Upon Their Seizing Control of France in 1930, the Action Fascist France: Upon their seizing control of France in 1930, the Action Francaise (AF) quickly install Charles IX (Charles Maurras) as king in order to give themselves legitimacy. Throughout the early 30's The AF along with the British pursue an aggressive policy of rearmament. In 1934 Jake Featherston sends Anne Colleton as an envoy to France to pursue a further alliance between the two countries, and to cooperate in remilitarization. Charles IX agreed and sent Jean-Henri Jusserand to the Confederate States as a military attache. In the realm of rearmament the French army is rebuilding quickly. General Philippe Leclerc sees a meteoric rise in the ranks thanks to his noble birth, and through military service in South America commanding a small armored force. (No reference to the book there, just something that makes sense considering the confederates did the same thing.) His work, along with that of General J. F. C. Fuller in Britain pave the way for the European branch of Blitzkrieg. Leclerc's close friend Jean-Henri Jusserand works as a military attache in the CSA and serves to act as a go between for Confederate and French military doctrine development. French tanks should start similarly to the way they did in the OTL (original timeline), but having advanced a bit more rapidly thanks to secret, quasi-legal combat experience in South America, followed by intervention in the Spanish civil war. One could say an even better more rounded testing ground sand box for developing the blitz than the Germans did in OTL, hence the early arrival of some of these historical French tanks and planes that then lead to more hypothetical improvements upon said tanks. I'm going to attempt to draw out some simple pictures that someone who's artistically talented can do better later. =P Nation Spirit: Charles IX Small national unity boost/small planning speed boost Bitter Loser (see Germany in base game) National Focus Trees: Inteventionism (big political tree) – Tree that allows for intervention in the Spanish, Mexican, and Sino-Japanese wars, as well as the influencing and befriending Argentina, Columbia and Venezuala and instigating south american conflict also includes reinstating the Entente with CSA Russia and Britain.

The Wehrmacht's Panzer III was well matched by the French Somua S35 tanks, the two representing very different design philosophies and yet both ranking among the best in the world at the time. Fully illustrated with specially commissioned colour artwork, this work draws upon the latest research to provide a definitive analysis of the clash between these two high-quality, cutting-edge tank designs.

The duel forming the centrepiece of this book is history’s first great tank-versus-tank battle, the fighting at Hannut-Merdorp in Belgium on 12–13 May 1940. It is difficult today to recall the perspective of European tank designers of the late 1930s. Tank-versus-tank combat in World War II was so commonplace that it leads to the presumption that the tanks developed before 1939 had this type of combat as a primary technical requirement. In fact, this was not the case, especially with respect to the tanks built at the start of the arms race in the mid-1930s. While tanks were used in large numbers in the final year of fighting during World War I, there was only one known instance of tank-versus-tank combat. The primary function of tanks since World War I was to provide fire support to the infantry in overcoming enemy defensive positions, especially enemy machine-gun nests and trenches. As a result, tanks were armed with weapons appropriate to this mission, usually machine guns or low-velocity guns firing HE (high-explosive) projectiles.
