Wish they had mentioned which groups were in which battles. My dad who was with the first group to arrive in Australia in 1942 the Jungleers then went to OCS then was with the 112th Cav . I think he was in New Guinea twice but wish had more details

I actually chose this because I thought it was the gallant though betrayed defence of Dutch New Guinea from Indonesian invasion. If that one, it would have had longer implications. WW2 is great for games, but completely esoteric from today's world.

Was MacArthur useless as they claim -or just a glory seeker?
