Australians in RO:RS?

[mo0nbuggy1]

I'm just thinking out loud here. But I was wondering if Australian forces will be featured in Rising Storm.
Australia and it's territory's played a massive role in the Pacific war and was involved in some of the most ferocious fighting experienced by any troops during ww2. I wont go into to much detail as of yet but I'm more than happy to post sources, quotes and references explaining Australian involvement, battles, campaigns etc....

Thank you.

"Rising Storm will cover the famous island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945 as the US Army and Marine Corps fight it out with the Imperial Japanese Army and Special Naval Landing Forces."

It seems not. But who knows, maybe the team that is working on Rising Storm will continue working and add the British, Australian, and other allied nations to the game. I doubt that anybody has forgotten the role that they played in the Pacific war.

Australians we're involved in the 'Island-hopping' campaign so I just thought maybe haha ....
Either way I'll be more then happy, I'm sure.

I would say it's unlikely. I don't know the exact intended development time, but from what I've heard, it wouldn't be enough to do any additional nations, considering the number of additional weapons, models and sounds that it would require. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see it, but I don't think it'll happen.

I'm afraid Chook here is right. Nice though it would be to have Aussies in RS, there is just so much content needed to bring in an additional nation that having Australia in the initial game would throw our release schedule into the next decade.

If we had a sudden rush of extra bodies, all top-notch modellers, character artists and mappers and all willing to work night and day, then we might be able to do that.

But, realistically, to maintain the quality that RO:HoS deserves and you guys both expect and deserve, we have to stay focussed with the resources we have.

We are getting together a class team and you will hear more about them soon, but we have our work cut out for us already.

Could just make "Commonwealth Forces" as the Brits, Aussies, and anyone else.
