	The French Tank Arm in WW1
		This tank was the result of an idea he had in mind, namely, of producing on the battlefield waves of skirmishers in open order; each skirmisher to be clad in armour, and to be armed with a machine gun which could be used with uninterrupted vision in all directions.
		As this was the greatest French tank battle fought during the war it is interesting to enter, in some detail, into the operations of the tanks allotted to the French Tenth Army.
		On September 30, a minor tank action was fought between the Aisne and the Vesle; on October 16 another on the eastern bank of the Meuse, and between October 17 and 19 yet another north-east of St. Quentin, in co-operation with the British attack further north.

		Early 1916, the proposed definitive prototype of this latter tank was prepared in an army workshop.
		One of Saint Chamond's technical directors was "Colonel" Émile Rimailho, a former artillery officer, who had become very disgruntled over the meagre benefits he had received in reward for designing the famous 75mm field gun before the war in service of the army.

	St. Chamond M-16
		The "St. Chamond" proved to be a faulty design, it had large front and rear hull overhangs which reduced cross-country maneuverability, and made the vehicle difficult to handle.
		Of the 400 St. Chamond tanks built during the war, some were of the original design with two circular cupolas on the roof.
		None of these revisions made the St. Chamond an acceptable tank, and it was scheduled to be replaced by British heavy tanks in 1919.

		He was constantly after his men to keep their tanks in good running condition, a difficult task greatly hampered by a shortage of spare parts and the absence of repair facilities close to the battlefield.
		As the tanks were not equipped with radios, unit commanders with orders to give and messages to deliver could do so only by leaving the safety of their own vehicles and making their way on foot to the other tanks.
		The tanks had plate armor, and it varied in thickness from five-eighths of an inch to one and one-half inches, depending on the vehicle and the nation that manufactured it.

		In between was the 90 HP engine, partly protuding through the roof, giving the tank a top speed of 12 km/h despite its 23 tons, on those rare occasions it didn't ditch itself or break down when the electric transmissions overheated.
		The tank saw its first "action" as a guntank on 5 May 1917, mostly ditching itself in various trenches.

		In 1918 these "old" tanks were gradually phased out in favour of the new Renault FT-17, but production only ended in August 1918, when exactly 400 had been built including the prototype.
		Chamond tank was developed from the Tracteur A prototype of the Schneider, leading to much confusion among later historians.

		This system eliminated the gear changing difficulties inherent in other early tanks and simplified steering (for which controls were provided at either end of the vehicle) but it was complicated and delicate and, unfortunately, unreliable and added to all the other troubles with this tank.
		The S:t Chamond was first used in action on May 5 1917, in support of an infantry attack at Moule de Laffaux.
		None of the modifications introduced could make the Saint-Chamond into a good tank and, after the French had given consideration to other designs to replace it and the Schneider C.A., it was decided to accept the offer of British heavy tanks for employment in the offensive planned for 1919.

		The hull only was required - this is a tank destroyer, after all, and so the turret was put to one side though the crew and main weapon were used.
		Baffin's tank destroyers were painted in 'light sensitive paint' meaning that they would change their camouflage appearance, 'chameleon' style, but I figured olive green would do as a 'standard' setting.
		Well, the resemblance to a certain WWI tank built by FAMH in France is fairly obvious if you know your tanks, and Kevin Dallimore (who painted the crew) does love his crap French war machines...

		The 15cm weapon is scarcely less powerful than the 20cm fitted to a turreted “Blower” and so the St Chamond is a popular vehicle offering a hard to hit, low profile tank destroyer with a massively armoured hull in a cheaper package than a turreted tank.
		The Tank's Main gun, a short barrelled (3m long) 15cm Powergun has around 1000 rounds for the main gun, with 30 rounds of main ammo in a 'ready bin'.
		The hull of the St Chamond is manufactured from cast iridium and the vehicle is powered by a fusion power plant at the hull rear.

	Interwar developments (from tank) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Tanks are the principal type of armoured vehicle.
		It consists ordinarily of either a single- or double-compartment concrete or steel tank buried in the ground, so arranged that settled sludge is in contact with the waste water as it flows through the tank and thence to a tile drain field.
		The armored fighting vehicle, or tank, first appeared in 1916 on the battlefields of World War I. A combination of existing inventions, it represented an effort to counter the great defensive firepower of artillery and machine guns that had stalemated the war on the Western Front.

		Another remarkable feature was the fact that the CA St. Chamond had a separate driver position for driving backwards, which was controlled from the rear firing MG gunners.
		All tanks that were already built received a replacement gun, and all further tanks were to receive the standard issue 75mm gun M1897, the same gun as used by the field artillery.
		The front of the tank was made stronger, and additional armour plates of 6,5 to 8mm thickness were installed.

		A theory was put forward by the great French tank enthusiast General Estienne, who helped design France's first tank and a proponent of the light tank, of the idea of skirmishers armed with light tanks rushing an enemy position.
		After these battles the tank was gradually replaced by the Mark V. The Mark IV was the culmination of all knowledge earned from the previous vehicles and their applications.
		Gas tanks were now armored and placed outside, to the rear of the tank.

		The front and side armour was increased to 16 mm respective 12mm, and the petrol tanks were relocated to the back of the vehicle, and was thus separated from the crew.
		The ground was firm, and well-suited for the tank, and for the first time they were used en masse: 476 tanks were employed, at a rate of approximately one tank for every 30 meters of front.
		The first tanks, Little Willie and Mark I, had proved disappointing but by 1917 saw the development of two successful tanks, the Whippet and Mark V. After the United States entered the war it was suggested that its engineers should join those in Britain to produce a new tank.

		The tank would track up to a trench, the driver would release the bundle into the trench - thereby filling it, and then continue on with the attack as a normal tank.
		These tanks were known by several monikers: Anglo-American Tank, The International Tank, The Mark VIII Heavy Tank, and the Liberty Tank.
		The idea of this tank was a coupling of heavy firepower, the ability to defend, and a total dominance of the area within it's range.

		The tank must boast a minimum speed of four miles per hour, be able to climb a five foot high obstacle, successfully span a five foot trench, and - critically - be immune to the effects of small-arms fire.
		Tanks were even deployed during the notorious, almost swampy, conditions of the Third Battle of Ypres (more commonly known as 'Passchendaele').
		On 4 July 1918 the tank was used in a manner that helped to fashion the method in which it was deployed in future battles.

		If a modeller wants to open everything and show the innards of the tank, then model an "in barracks" workshop scene, where every hatch and deckplate can justifiably be opened or unbolted and stacked neatly.
		I simply haven’t the evidence from anything other than tanks to explore this, but I do note from aircraft research that Japanese colours whilst standardised as to intention were subject to a wide range of variation in practice.
