INVISIBLE ENEMY
MICROMACHINES AT WAR
 
MGV Forces and Orders of Battle: Australia
Australian MEK forces are equipped by domestic sources as well as several Med States manufacturers, Australia being loosely allied with the Med States. They have had a long and difficult history with Selangor which lies immediately to the northwest. The two countries have fought several major wars over lucrative resources that lie in the island territories between Darwin and Singapore. Most of these territories belong to the pre-glacial countries of Indonesia and New Guinea, but these areas are now a patchwork of semi-autonomous settlements allied in varying degrees to the two regional powers.

Australia is a big customer for Caffarelli (Malta), whose EU4 Pilum features prominently in AU orders of battle. The Australian Tactical Forces markets a version of the Caffarelli EU3 Pike called the AU3 "Pike A" which has a slightly improved weapon range.

Below is listed a general order of battle for typical Australian MEK formations currently in use. The AU8 Sarrisa is sometimes replaced by the less expensive AU4 Pike A, especially when an action may be against older or outnumbered formations.


Australia's tech level is 5.
