Default Re: US Heavy Tanks Icon set 1.0

From a book on British Tank production I recently finished reading:

Quote:
During the deteriorating military situation in France during June 1940, a French mission to the United States discussed the possible assembly of 12,000 French B1-Bis tanks under a production group headed by Baldwin Locomotive. While there was a lack of capacity for moulded armour plate, an impressive 10 tanks per day could be achieved by the end of 1940, if the American authorities gave priority for the necessary machine tools. These discussions were taken seriously as it was proposed that a few specialists and a complete B1-Bis tank be shipped from France to the United States for examination. British interest in this project was expressed with the hope that production tanks would be delivered on an equal basis between Britain and France.
To simulate entry of such a Char B1-Bis in a hypothetical scenario, buy the Char B1-Bis as a captured unit; and then use scenario editor to change the icon for them to 4336 ; which is close enough to "allied green".
