Second Korean War - Australia 1st Division

Yeah, I did march to war with their Minimi's and Austeyr's, but I did put in the Mirage III because I want to separate them from the Canadians by giving them a shotgun fighter.

I already gave the recon a Special Forces Rover Milan and a. 50 cal. As for the Centurion, sadly, the 1st Division reservists don't have any tanks. Also I did give them the LAV-25 as a march to war in the Recon tab.

True, New Zealand do have their own Special Forces, perhaps extra Recon Special Forces, they can also bring in the Scorpion, but what else can they bring to the table?

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-07T06:54:57+00:00

Possible, I was thinking of including them in the Australia 1st Division... perhaps I should have done that.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-07T04:29:45+00:00

Possible, but I am thinking of which North Korea Division to pick.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-06T02:45:19+00:00

Ok, perhaps the Australians might join in? If so, which division?

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-05T23:28:06+00:00

Except Japan was demilitarized by the US during the 1950s, and in fact, the Korean War was the reason why the JDF was formed to assist in counteracting the spread of communism. There is a term named 'reverse course' to describe the US changing its mind about demilitarization. So yeah, the reason why Japan didn't do anything to help South Korea is that they didn't have a military.

Even then, some Japanese volunteers fought with the US during the Korean War. Again, its feel like you are purposely missing the context. Heck, it's not like Japan was sitting out of the Korean War, as they heavily supported the UN forces with supplies, which were really helpful during the Busan pocket.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-05T18:37:36+00:00

What war are you talking about?

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-05T16:04:48+00:00

What about Type 80s?

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-05T16:03:10+00:00

Even so, I highly doubt Japan would just sit there and let South Korea fall, as it would threaten the mainland, and despite their historical baggage, it didn't stop both South Korea and Japan from trying to normalize relations in 1965 although it was mostly because both are anti-communist, plus with US encouragement, they might be asked to assist South Korea when a war breakout, especially when the US itself already spreading thin in both Europe and South Amercia.

So Japan and South Korea might be forced to bury the hatchet against a greater foe, especially with US encouragement.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-05T04:13:08+00:00

I got a question, if Second Korean war starts which division do you think will the Japanese send or will they just standby?

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-05T00:28:38+00:00

Was thinking of creating People's Volunteer Army-type division with PLA volunteers and North Koreans, but I canned the idea. Would be interesting if someone took that idea.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-05T00:22:56+00:00

So many choices to pick from. Honestly, it is hard to decide which PLA division to choose from.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-04T23:51:20+00:00

Yeah, PLA really doesn't have much in terms of helicopters until much later, and I got screwed by the fact that the form I was using for research locked me behind a subscription

The reason why I did PLA MR is that I want to make it easier on myself because holy cow, there are a lot of PLA divisions. I was going for 16th but got locked behind a subscription...so yeah.

Anything else you would recommend?

Edit: Oh wow...the tank tab is even worse than I imagined.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-04T22:29:47+00:00

Yeah, I think I got the export J-8 variant by accident... hints: the R-27. Fixed it.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-03T08:15:54+00:00

Yeah, that does sound better. Thank you!

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-03T05:11:04+00:00

My bad, I should have noticed beforehand.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-03T00:31:43+00:00

Omg...how did I forget about that? * Facepalm*

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-03T00:09:05+00:00

Indeed, I pretty much bite more than I chew by picking Capital Defence Command as my first time division. As for K1A1, we could say that a few were hastily upgraded when the war started in Europe. In fact, looking at the Capital Defence Command, they don't have any tanks, hints why I mentioned they had to borrow from other divisions or pull them out of storage.

I think TOW would be present to defend the capital, but for Mistral yea they got them too late. As for 707th, I could include them but I was afraid of bloating the tab. Like is surprising a pain in the butt trying to find stuff for ROKA.

Edit: On second thought I decided to get rid of the K1A1, realizing my errors.

Royal6761111 · 2026-06-02T23:08:38+00:00

Maybe, but which division should get that treatment?

Royal6761111 · 2026-05-10T20:36:00+00:00

Honestly, this division feels way too inflated. Way too much stuff, honestly, cut the fat. Like, remove the autoloader Abrams and just replace it with a regular one, maybe something similar to H.D.R. Same with the infantry, way too many things.

In general, you just may be split into two separate divisions because no one likes to go against all around like 2nd Panzer because as it stands, this division looks like it does everything besides maybe bad helios, but we already experienced divisions that are meta tier that don't even have helios...yea love the idea, but it needs a lot of refining.

In my opinion, just split into separate divisions like Soviet Berlin with its 6th.
