The Australians Attack*
*
Date: June 14, 2009 *
*
Battle Location: North Korea*
*
Battle type: Australia advance vs North Korea delay*
*
Description: Led by the United States an international coalition is formed to put pressure on the ever defiant North Korea. The goal is to force Pyongyang to adhere to the demand of the international community, especially regarding the suspected Nuclear Weapons program.*
*
Despite a build-up of various forces in South Korea the North Korean leadership does not find the coalition to be a credible threat, as there is some disagreement between chiefly the European countries and the United States, on top of which most of the coalition partners are more or less bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan.*
*
A number of ultimatums put forward by the coalition are ignored. Efforts by China to mediate in the crisis fail. North Korea mobilise some of its forces, but preparations are limited as the leadership in Pyongyang remains secure in the belief that the military build-up is a bluff.* 
*
On June 5 the military operations against North Korea begins.*
*
Initially held in reserve behind the advancing USMC the Australian continent based around the 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, had become impatient after one week of false alerts and occasional artillery fire. When released for the attack, the Australians were overjoyed.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Australian side.*
