So what colors should I paint my Indian/Anzac troops


  • @dannyboy2016:

    Well I wound up painting the ANZAcs a dark Blue, because it was reminiscent of the Aussie flag. I’m gonna paint Indian units orange. I’ll probably do some Canadian units in Red or white.

    Dark Blue? That’s the French color


  • this is french blue. Dark blue could be Vichy.

    Japan’s Orange


  • I was going to use a light blue for the French.
    In my version of Pacific the Japanese pieces are red.

    Really? I think people are keeping secrets from me. How much games had guys like this?


  • The early versions of Pacific had the Red Japanese.

    Japan’s red, and Canada didn’t do anything in the Pacific.

    Aleutian Islands campaign (5,300 ground troops at Kiska); the Royal Rifles of Canada regiment was dispatched to Hong Kong; also in Hong Kong, the Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Prince Edward Island Highlanders regiment; also the Cruiser HMS Uganda was operated by the Canadians in the British Pacific Fleet. While the majority of Canada’s contribution to the Allied war effort was in Europe they also did serve in the Pacific as well.

    Were they volunteers or real soldiers.


  • Those are Canadian units Dylan, not Canadian volunteers in other Commonwealth or US forces.
