Oh Awesome
I didn't know anybody rendered these, thanks Roughbeak!
I'm glad we can show some proper love to the Aussies and make them more of a distinct army. 2AIF 6th Infantry Division 2/1 Battalion to be specific
On which maps will new skins be used?
Just like Jan said, Bardia and Giarabub. At Bardia the Australians famously wore their greatcoats during the assault, but since BF2 doesn't handle coats well, it was easy to go with the next best thing. Just like the update says, they were still equip with their WW1 Service Dress underneath which is similar enough to the Normandy Commonwealth uniforms to be re-skinned. They still used the SD throughout the winter of '41 (when Giarabub takes place) and didn't fully change over to the commonwealth battledress until Tobruk.
Shouldn't New Zealand have similar uniforms on Mt. Olympus?
I certainly thought about it, I just don't have enough research to see how similar the NZ uniforms in Greece are to this uniform. If any history buffs have some good resources, it's clear that the devs aren't averse to updating their old assets
Hope you guys like 'em!
