Did a lot of scouting work, rescued some prisoners, had Staff Sergeant Robert Cornwall sending them to Certain Death a number of times..lots of sand, bad chlorinated tea, their efforts really not amounting to all that much (I know, this may seem bad. But High Realism, folks. A single australian in WW2 bayoneted 2 whole trenches of Germans in flanders before they had him at gunpoint, where they surrendered. How much did it do to end the war? not a lot.) was all good. As a bit of fun for the last mission I had them all off helping the Pirate of Tobruk load up his ship with things from a small resistance-led town in greece.. only to find the nazi's had taken it over and the place was under lockdown. All good fun, especially when the crates they finally managed to get (After numerous whorehouse 'missions') opened up to rather illegal amounts of gold plates, paintings and other things stolen from greek temples around the place <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.It was good fun overall, but now I'm taking a break. Next up will be in late 42 or early 43 where the guys will be TOG commando's in PNG.Aaron2: Interestingly, Australian sentiment had died a little. In the Great War it was going strong - 'home' was still britain, had to defend the motherland, cups of tea and all of that. After the depression and the subsequent failure to do anything much with the cream of the australian crop there began to form up little private armies with these blokes in them who had a lot of nationalist sentiment.But still very strong. Education was all about Britain. Everything was all about it. Britain was our cultural ancestor, and there was little 'Australian' culture at all then (Compared to the very small amounts of it now.)God, you make me remember my australian history lectures. *Shudders in boredom*</blockquote>
