Great! The Schneider. Probably the worst tank of WW1. The crews called it "the mobile crematory". It was used in The Spanish Civil War as well.  :D

Great! The one that was still left for the complete WWI pack! This was a bad tank, but actually Saint Chamond was even worse. French tankists knew that St. Chamond, with its heavy frontal gun, was always ditching. It had also a lot of problems with transmission and it was like hell hot inside, so they usually refused to be sent to front in that monster (aesthetically more appealing than Schneider though)
Schneider was ugly, but more practical. Lighter, and with better caterpillar system, it worked not that bad. That's why Spaniards bought them to use in Moroccan war and 2 of them survived to be used in SCW, for instance, in Alcazar de Toledo Siege.
We used a lot of Renault Ft-17 as well, but French and Poles used them even later, in WWII.
Thanks a lot, Gio. You're making many of my dreams come true.  ;D

The French 'gave' the US several St. Chamond assault tanks to use during the St. Mihel Offensive. And like the rest of the POS that the French "gave" the US...the list was long

For example....The 29th US Inf Division left for France with Lewis and Browning Machine Guns and recieved ChauChats, Hotchkisses, and even old Colt M 1895s (Potato diggers).  It seemed the Ordinance Dept sent the Lewis and Brownings to Calais and the Brits "aquired them"
