[B]I just happened to accidentally take a look at the ANZAC section of encyclopedia, and was quite surprised. I thought them to be just poor cousins of normal Brits, but they also had an interesting mixture of US equipment and native specialities (Jungle troops, Sentinels etc.) - luckily not the experimental NZ tank though!
Something that got me really interested was the notion of the separate 2-man flamethrower teams, that could even be bought singly. Sure, they have short range, little ammo and no other weapons, but the idea of having a 2-man flamethrower or two attached to every infantry platoon for support sounds like a really cool idea to try in a close terrain.
So is it really as good idea as it sounds - I am going to try playing a game with ANZAC in near future.

Be glad you didn't look at them back around v4-5, the jungle patrols back then were 18 man, size 0, elite, recon, special forces that also had a flamethrower in each unit. It was an oob error since they were supposed to be 6 man units, but even then they kicked. The only thing they couldn't do was lay mines.
If you want to have a fun time manage to target one of their 1 ton bombs onto an infantry cluster, it will cause casualties in a several hex radius, it is the only weapon that can clear a Japanese 20 man squad with one hit.
Oh yes there certainly are some nice items in their oob.
thanks, John.
