WITPAE AT START UNITS
AUSTRALIAN ARMY
Working in no WITPAE order, Ive listed slot numbers
I have little complaint about the units chosen to be listed, there were lots of, for example Light Hrse Regiments, which had a short life and where often at about 25% TOE.
But these units were then spread all around the map, few are actually in the correct locations, locations often covered by units which should be elsewhere.
If someone can make corrections to this info, please go ahead and let me know the source. I have basically used the War Diaries from the Australian War Memorial, but have found contradictions so am happy to make changes.
There needs to be bases created to replicate the Seymour/Puckapunyal, Bandiana & Greta/Rutherford/Singleton complexes. (I'll post suggested hexes next)
The Bird units should be Force rather than Bn, Lark Bn is lame, should be Lark Force.
All Tank Attack Rgts s/be Anti Tank Rgts until 6/43
