  • Playtesters Wanted

    'The Battle of Australia' is now ready for playtesting. As I said on the 'secret project' post, it covers a Japanese invasion of Australia, with the player playing as the Australians, who incorperate some American and British units (I'm hoping to create something like 'Red Front' down-under )

    If you're interested in playtesting this scenario please leave your email adress below, or email me at: nick_dowling@hotmail.com

    Here's an in game shot of the Japanese attacking Brisbane:

                          Well this is a toughie isnt it. Japanese army units being made at places that get nearer the further they get when your militia units are destroyed. annoying to the extreme. However i did manage to keep them out of brisbane on emporer level mainly with a huge counter attack after letting brisbane getting bombed to within an inch of its life. About 25 sentinels and churcils were used as well as all my remaining AIF and planes and i managed to get them out of australia all together. it is tough but it is possible case with a little bit of tactics.
                          And then i decided to play as the japanese. Woah is that easy lol. i conquered the entire of australia in 12 turns.
                          mainly by using the kill militia to get japs idea it is easy to advance. but i was up until 4 in the morning playing it god damn so ill give you a full report soon when i get some damn sleep

                            I Just finished trying it on Deity, and the results weren't pretty... The Japs mopped the floor with me. By turn 30 my outlook was hopeless. I'll try it again on King level, hopefully I'll have better luck!

                            From what I've played however, I think the Japanese airforce is much too strong. I must have destroyed almost 50 bombers yet they still kept coming. Once you lose your Lightning's and Spitfire's, the situation is pretty hopeless. Wirraway's and Batteries are no match for the Japanese bombers.

                            The Japanese were attacking me with Beaufighters too! From the readme, the impression I got was this was meant to be an Autralian only unit.

                              Since everyone else seems to be posting graphics, here are some I've created for future versions of 'The Battle of Australia' (I'm still experimenting with their stats)

                              From left to right they are: Matilda II CS (a Matilda II armed with a 3 inch howitzer), AC3 (an AC1 armed with a 25 pounder), and AC4 Thunderbolt (an upgraded AC1 armed with a 17 pounder [which inspired the British to design the Sherman Firefly])
