One former Viet Cong leader is quoted as saying; "Worse than the Americans were the Australians. The Americans style was to hit us, then call for planes and artillery. Our response was to break contact and disappear if we could...The Australians were more patient than the Americans, better guerrilla fighters, better at ambushes. They liked to stay with us instead of calling in the planes. We were more afraid of their style."
This seems to be a recurring theme with ANZAC forces, there being more of a focus on guerrilla tactics than shock and awe. It would be really interesting to see this represented if and when ANZAC eventually comes to the game.
Given the maps are designed to be played specifically by the different factions, perhaps there could be more of an emphasis on deep jungle warfare for their maps, with the faction actually being SASR? That all SASR platoons had one NZ troop attached this would not only make sense, but offer some pretty stark gameplay differences. A removal of near all helicopter and artillery support in favour of better personal camouflage (with an impact on recon support if people still insist on running around shirtless) and overwhelming firepower, as the attached image suggests.
I'm not sure quite how it would be balanced out, beyond the NLF or PAVN having some pretty complex tunnel systems and further emphasis on traps maybe. but it would make an interesting change of pace and tension to include a faction such as this.
