Scenario: China and Indonesia attack Australia!

Ok so lets say the Yanks are determined not to involve themselves due to the issues suggested above and are unwilling to use nukes on anyone (Yeah this is a fictional account ahah)! Let's say Indonesia and China have been successful in their objectives, and we have lost Darwin, Cairns Brisbane and Sydney and areas surrounding those places! Where too next? Anyone else that may come to our aid? Japan is busy fighting in Vietnam and Philippines, Britain has split themselves between us and Japan!

Love your reply Austemplar! In the scenario above though NZ was already taken by China so we would be assuming that NZ troops have retreated to Aus!

I've seen PLA training and demonstration videos... Even met a couple.

I reckon 1 aussie fox shooter is worth 50 chinese soldiers.

I'm comfortable with my wolverinabilty

Due to a navigation tubesteak up the surviving NZ soldiers arrive in the port of Bundaberg. After a brief fire fight with the Indo garrison they liberate the port and subsequently the town of Bundaberg and the all-important rum distillery.

Emboldened both by their recent success, and maybe a little too much rum, the Kiwis press inland where they join forces with the Moolboolaman Militia (affectionately known as the M&Ms by the local populace, partly because it was the initials of the militia's alliterating name, but mostly because with the average rotundness of the militia's members the abbreviation just seemed appropriate). The M&Ms have been harassing the Indos since they formed at a cowboy action rendezvous that took place shortly after enemy forces landed in Darwin. In general their weapons are no match for the Indo's modern firearms but they have managed to employ guerilla techniques with some success and have really gotten the enemy quite upset with the practice of stealing lead flashing from roofs to mold into 577 caliber minie balls for their muzzle loaders.

The combined Kiwi/M&M battle group (now known as Strike Force 1 because it sounded cooler and also the Kiwis though that any association with round chocolate was not really appropriate under the circumstances) is now a force to be reckoned with and before long the entire Burnet district is under militia control. As this is one of the few areas of Australia that is not enemy-occupied the government decides to move all remaining politicians and shiny-bums to the district, and in a strange twist of fate (due to Bundaberg being too close to the ocean and more at risk of invasion) they declare that Gin Gin is now the seat of government and that Ollie's Tyre Emporium will be the new parliament house. Ollie's being chosen because with an existing hot air supply the politicians felt right at home.

Needless to say now that the top shiny bums were safe things went tits up shortly afterwards, with plans for appeasement talks with the Indos on the agenda.

This enraged the militia leader (Bill, who after many months of bloody conflict had become known as "the Burnet Butcher", although looking back I think he was called that for years before the conflict). Bill was known for his direct — and often colourful — language. "You don't appease the c*nts, you shoot them" and "I'd rather try to shove a limp noodle up a honey badger's arse in a phone booth than negotiate with those pricks". To this day it's still unclear if the "pricks" referred to are the Indos or the government.

Anyway it reached a point where the militia leader openly challenged the acting Prime Minister and as Bill's Burnet Butcher shop was right nextdoor to Ollie's Tyre Emporium the two leaders duked it out in the car park. Given that Bill had spent most of his life wielding a heavy meat cleaver at lamb shanks, and the PM was an investment banker with greased palms that couldn't get a grip on anything let alone a butcher, the result was a foregone conclusion.

Under pressure to be merciful, and against Bill's better judgment, the PM and his cronies were shipped off to Indo-controlled territory rather than just being shot then and there. It was assumed that the recently evicted appeasers would sing like canaries so as a security measure parliament house was renamed to HQ and everything inside was relocated to the Whip Into Wendy's servo in case an air strike was brought down onto the tyre shop because the enemy thought that it was still the centre of government.

Graynomad that wins my vote for BEST post ever on this forum!!! Hahaahah love it!!!

Agree but that's why u have to wage guerilla warfare , blending in with the population, taking soft targets not military ones
Has been done ww2 Vietnam Iraq Afghanistan, but the west was on the receiving end
Be interesting if we had to be the terrorists/ resistance
I hope we'd do a good job!!

Here's to the brave fighters who fought at the Battle of Bundaberg!!!!

I think Strike force 1 should have its own post .... loved it

Oh come on now Gray no fair!!
