That's gotta hurt the Aussies. And it wasn't even a Shock Attack!

[RUPD3658]

It was just a few base forces and CD batteries. Now I wish I had sent 2 of the 3 divisions to Charter Towers or Brisbane to help there. I figured that after Townsville fell easily Charter Towers and Brisbane would be easy too. I then diverted 2 division, which had been enroute by ship, to Hobart. Lokks like it was a bad move.

[RUPD3658]

Charter Towers held against a last ditch shock attack. Looks like they will survive the scenario. I can't say the same for Brisbane however. [;)]
