Australian

While fighting in North Africa Australian forces were engage alongside the British and other commonwealth forces against the Germans and Italians. However, back on home territory they had different priorities to those of British and Indians, concentrating on defending their own territory from the rapid Japanese expansion. Some Australian forces saw action in Malaya and Singapore, but the bulk of Australia’s fighting in 1942 and 1943 was in Papua New Guinea, at that time an Australian administered territory.

The Australian have their own set of National Special Rules, some are familiar from British forces like Mike Target (for artillery) and Deadly (for infantry). They also have Determined (improving their Rally rating), and Canister (for 37mm tank guns). The Commandos also have additional rules (see below).

The Pacific features a separate Australian Forces with six Formations. Three infantry formations, and three armoured formations.
