Given your Francophile tendencies, I can only conclude that the great idea is that England decided that the Hundred Years War was a complete cock up and that maybe Napoleon was right after all so they decide to chuck it in and join with France in an early version of the EU. And in a Cameronesque coup, Britain decides that it is cheaper if they just rely on the French Navy and scrap all existing carriers and battleships. Yes?
Thanks for the update btw. I can just imagine the H35's crawling inexorably towards the dastardly Monarchists. The fine details were also great although it is amazing how long the French persisted with no hatch in the cupola. Tank design is evolutionary, as in nature, so you expect some blind alleys and misconceptions as designs are put to the test over time and there is no greater test than battle. However, you would think the first officer who went to get into the saddle would have arced up about the awkwardness of entering through the body.
In pursuit of my perfectly natural desire to find more tank porn, I mean, information on French inter-war armour, I found this article which seemd very Pippian in its forthright opinions and criticism with the benefit of hindsight. I hope it gives you some inspiration for future updates.
