Heavily inspired and formatted similarly to Omega's Japanese Faction thread, i thought i'd give it a shot. Because the marines weren't the only blokes to fight in the pacific theatre.
This faction is modelled off the tactics and unit formations during the pacific front, not north africa
if there was to be an Australian faction. I wouldn't want them to play like the British. slow moving troops? have to be blobbed up to be effective? not in jungle warfare. the Australian military forces in WW2 were expert jungle fighters (maybe not the early battles in PNG, kokoda etc, but later on, certainly) and this is clearly shown in the causality to kill ratio in most of the land battles during the pacific campaign.
The Australian faction boasts a incredibly large infantry diversity. from cheap under equipped light infantry conscripted into the various militia battalions, to heavy well trained professional soldiers, and effective guerilla commandos. The lack tanks, scouting cars, armoured cars, and these armoured assets that they do have are expensive.
Their AT options are mostly infantry based, Boys Anti-Tank Rifles, PIAT's, and field guns.
