Finally, we have ANZAC, France and China. Also referred to as the “minor countries”.
ANZAC (short for Australia/New Zealand Army Corps) was first introduced in Pacific 1940. They basically use ALL British units, including infantry, in a steel grey color. In the right light, you can also tell that there is sort of a brown tint to them too. I like the color although it may make problems for people wanting to use FMG’s grey German units in the future. ANZAC is too new so they have not underwent any changes as of yet.
France was introduced in Europe 1940. They do have a unique infantry unit but all of their other units are Soviet models moulded in French blue. Very pretty. As with ANZAC, the French have not yet underwent any changes.
China was first introduced in the A&A Pacific game with unique rules. They didn’t receive money like the other countries, but rather received infantry units for defense depending on how many territories they had. In that Pacific game, Chinese infantry were represented by dark brown or bright red Russian infantry pieces. The dark brown were used in sets with red Japanese and the bright red were used in sets with orange Japanese. The Anniversary game first introduced a unique Chinese infantry unit in a lime green color. The rules for China were altered somewhat, but they still received no income. It wasn’t until Pacific 1940 came out that China could actually receive IPCs and purchase units, albeit on a limited basis.
Since China was somewhat backward and primitive at this time, they don’t have the array of different units that all the other nations have, only infantry. China does get 1 fighter unit and can purchase artillery if the Burma road is open, but those are represented by using US units.
Since ANZAC uses all British units and France uses all Soviet units, I’m not going to list all the different unit types here. You can just go back and check the British and Soviet posts.
I hope you all enjoy the pics.
