A French Pz-1 equivalent. Cool. Just as useless on the battlefields of the day but nonetheless build-worthy.

The designation AMR literally means Automitrailleuse de Reconnaissance (machine gun vehicle for reconnaisance)
BUT despite this they were not intended as scout vehicles:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMR_33
"Though its name might suggest otherwise, the AMR 33 was not a scout vehicle and mostly was not equipped with a radio set. The AMR 33s were intended to form a large mass of light tanks, preceding the medium types into battle. In reality they never served as such; by the time enough medium tanks were produced to form armoured divisions, the AMR 33 had already been replaced by the AMR 35 and was limited to the Cavalry Divisions and in 1940 to the Cavalry Light Divisions to provide fire support to motorised infantry and dismounted cavalry. In the Battle of France of 1940 the AMR 33s were quickly lost. Some captured vehicles were for the duration of the war used by Germany."
