Geelong is an obvious target. A clear hex with an existing level 3 AF.

They go after our small garrison at Armidale. Maybe they plan an air drop to cut off our retreat routes. Damned effective too.

Bathurst, 80 mi NW of Sydney. Probably an air drop coming. We have a garrison there to prevent just that. Weather in hex: Light rain Raid spotted at 16 NM, estimated altitude 18,000 feet.

British 44 Div is like a green American division without all the cool toys. 7th SA Armoured has good equipment for early '42 but apparently nobody told them how to turn on the Ronson engines. 2nd Para is pretty damn good but light on heavy weapons, of course. 27th Rhodesian fair to middling but good TO&E
