So our history <br /> books tell us. The colonies came together, united into one nation. Not by an <br /> act of war, nor through violent action was a nation forged. How boring! No <br /> wonder I fell asleep in those Australian history classes.<br /> <br /> This is your chance to rewrite a nations history. Federation had failed. <br /> Instead of peaceful unity, war between the colonies is declared. All <br /> agreements between the colonies have been dissolved.<br /> <br /> It is Spring 1901. The divisions between the colonies is fuelled by a hunger <br /> to gain control over the continent. You are the colonys' governor and have <br /> already instructed the militia forces to be mustered and ready for action.<br /> <br /> Who will succeed to unify Australia? Who will forever be doomed to oblivion? <br /> What will you do to unite the colonies?<br /> <br /> Each colony had managed to muster the following forces in Spring 1901:<br /> <br /> New South Wales: Sydney (Fleet) Bourke (Army) Goulburne (Army)<br /> Queensland: Brisbane (Fleet) Cairns (Army)<br /> South Australia: Adelaide (Fleet) Port Augusta (Army)<br /> Tasmania: Hobart (Fleet) Launceston (Army)<br /> Victoria: Melbourne (Army) Geelong (Fleet) Ballarat (Army)<br /> Western Australia: Perth (Fleet) Albany (Army) <br /> Northern Territory: Darwin (Fleet) Katherine (Army)<br /> New Zealand: Wellington (Army) Auckland (Fleet)<br /> <br /> <br /> Each colony begins the campaign with the units deployed as shown in the above <br /> table. As the campaign progresses and supply centres are acquired, further <br /> units may be built in each colonies home supply centres, provided the colony <br /> has control of them.<br /> <br /> Home supply centres:<br /> <br /> New South Wales: Sydney, Bourke, Dubbo, Broken Hill, Goulburn, Newcastle<br /> Queensland: Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville, Cloncurry, Mount Isa, Longreach<br /> South Australia: Adelaide, Port Augusta, Riverland, Cooper Pedy, Mount <br /> Gambier, Eyre Peninsula<br /> Tasmania: Hobart, Launceston, Franklin<br /> Victoria: Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Mildura, Gippsland<br /> Western Australia: Perth, Albany, Broome, Karlgoolie, Pilbara, Kimberly<br /> Northern Territory: Darwin, Katherine, Alice Springs<br /> New Zealand: Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch<br /> <br /> <br /> Victory Condition<br /> <br /> The victory condition is to capture 27 supply centres of the 52 supply <br /> centres.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Albury, Abr<br /> Adelaide, Ade<br /> Amery Ice Shelf, AIS<br /> Albany, Alb<br /> Alice Springs, Ali<br /> Arafura Sea, Ara<br /> Arnhem Land, Arn<br /> Antarctic Southern Ocean, ASO<br /> Auckland, Auc<br /> Ballarat, Bal<br /> Banda Sea, Ban<br /> Barkley Tableland, Bar<br /> Bendigo, Ben<br /> Broken Hill, BHi<br /> Blue Mountains,BMo<br /> Bay Of Plenty,BoP<br /> Bourke, Bou<br /> Brisbane, Bri<br /> Broome, Bro<br /> Banks Strait, BSt<br /> Bourketown, Btn<br /> Cairns, Cai<br /> Coopers Creek, CCr<br /> Charleville, Cha<br /> Chatham Islands, ChI<br /> Christmas Island, Chm<br /> Christchurch, Chr<br /> Clarke River, Cla<br /> Cloncurry, Cln<br /> Mount Cook, Coo<br /> Coral Sea Islands, Cor<br /> Cooper Pedy, CPe<br /> Dandenong, Dan<br /> Darwin, Dar<br /> Davenport, Dav<br /> Dutch East Indies, DEI<br /> Dubbo, Dub<br /> Dunedin, Dun<br /> East Bass Strait, EBS<br /> East Cook Strait, ECS<br /> Equatorial Indian Ocean, EIO<br /> Encounter Bay, EnB<br /> Eyre Peninsula, EPe<br /> Equatorial Pacific Ocean, EPO<br /> Eastern Southern Ocean, ESO<br /> Esperance, Esp<br /> Eyre, Eyr<br /> Flinders, Fli<br /> Franklin, Fra<br /> Furneaux Islands, Fur<br /> Great Australian Bight, GAB<br /> Geelong, Gee<br /> Geraldton, Ger<br /> Gibson Desert, Gib<br /> Gippsland, Gip<br /> Gisborne, Gis<br /> Gulf of Carpentaria, GOC<br /> Gold Coast, Gol<br /> Goulburn, Gou<br /> Grampians, Gra<br /> Great Sandy Desert, GSD<br /> Great Victorian Desert, GVD<br /> George V Land, GVL<br /> Heard McDonald Island, HMI<br /> Hobart, Hob<br /> JB Gulf, JBG<br /> Kalgoorlie, Kal<br /> Kangaroo Island, Kan<br /> Katherine, Kat<br /> Kimberley, Kim<br /> King Island, KIs<br /> Launceston, Lau<br /> Longreach, Lon<br /> Mount Magnet, Mag<br /> Macquarie Harbour, MaH<br /> Mid Barrier Reef, MBR<br /> Mid Coral Sea, MCS<br /> Melbourne, Mel<br /> Mount Gambier, MGa<br /> Mildura, Mil<br /> Mid Indian Ocean, MIO<br /> Mount Isa, MIs<br /> Moree, Mor<br /> Mid Pacific Ocean, MPO<br /> Musgrave Ranges, MRa<br /> Mid Southern Ocean, MSO<br /> North Barrier Reef, NBR<br /> New Caledonia Islands, NCa<br /> North Coral Sea, NCS<br /> Nelson, Nel<br /> Newcastle, New<br /> New Guinea, NGu<br /> Norfolk Island, Nor<br /> Northern Tasman Sea, NTS<br /> Nullabor, Nul<br /> North West Shelf, NWS<br /> Olgas, Olg<br /> Port Augusta, PAu<br /> Perth, Per<br /> Pilbara, Pil<br /> Port Phillip Bay, PPB<br /> Portuguese Timor, PTi<br /> Riverland, Riv<br /> Rockhampton, Roc<br /> Ross Sea, Ros<br /> South Barrier Reef, SBR<br /> South Coral Sea, SCS<br /> Simpson Desert, SDe<br /> Southern Indian Ocean, SIO<br /> Snowy Mountains, Sno<br /> Solomon Islands, Sol<br /> Spencer Gulf, Spe<br /> South Pacific Ocean, SPO<br /> Southern Tasman Sea, STS<br /> Sydney, Syd<br /> Tanami Desert, Tan<br /> Tennant Creek, Ten<br /> The Heads, THd<br /> Timor, Tim<br /> Timor Sea, TiS<br /> Townsville, Tow<br /> Victoria Land, Vic<br /> Wagga Wagga, Wag<br /> West Bass Strait, WBS<br /> West Cook Strait, WCS<br /> Wellington, Wel<br /> Wilkes Land, Wil<br /> Wollongong, Wol<br /> Woomera, Woo<br /> Western Southern Ocean, WSO<br /> Cape York, Yor</div>
