Description

Almost a million Australians served in the Second World War. Australians fought in the campaigns against the Germans and Italians in Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa; against Japan in south-east Asia and the Pacific. Even Australia came under direct attack as Japanese aircraft bombed towns in north-western Australia and Japanese midget submarines penetrated Sydney harbour.

In Flames of War

You can field an Australian Company using the special rules on page 134 of Afrika.

Australians are Fearless Veterans and gain the advantage of their Disorderly Conduct rule.

Disorderly Conduct

Australian soldiers have a strong disrespect for authority. They’ll do what they are told if it makes sense to them, but if not, they’ll do their own thing instead.

In one famous incident a Private greeted a Colonel with “How’s it going Bill?” much to the surprise of British officers present.

It turned out that the Private had been the Colonel’s boss before the war!

One benefit of this was that when officers became casualties, there was usually someone able to take over the leadership.

  • Deployment EM: Can be deployed at early/mid stage of war
