From the PT Dockyard's secret French armor workshop…. CDL-4 French S-40 with three man AMX turret/47mm SA37………$8.00 link Thanks to my introduction a few years ago to the French magazine GBM, I have a renewed love of French "what if" tanks. So here is, let's say, a "Monstre français de guerre intermédiaire!" There was a projected design for a three man turret for the Somua S-40. This would carry the excellent long SA-37 47mm gun, making this tank the rough equivalent to the Pz-III with the long 5cm gun. Cast in white resin. Barrel is an insert, not a resin casting ptdockyard.com/15mm-armor |

If you're trying to say "interwar", I would go with "entre-deux-guerres". "Intermédiaire" is more for the middle position in an action or a middle-man/negotiator. The English word that's derived from practically falls into the same usage. Ex. The M3 Lee was the intermediary between the 37mm M2 Medium and the 75mm M4 Sherman. |

He didn't mean "interwar," he is talking about mid-war. |

For that, it would be something like "mi-guerre." But these tank designs are ones that could have come out mid-war, but were being designed before WWII started. |

That's a cool little hot-rod! Will have to pester the French players, see if they want any. I'm trying to finish off my Weird War Krauts before I go anywhere else. |
