Have seen the comments about Australia getting heavily nuked and on this one I will say I totally agree with Legbreaker - I dont see it happening - for one I doubt Australia may have even been involved in the war in 1997 and 1998 except possibly with Indonesia in a local war

Face it - Greece, Italy, France and Belguim did not fight on the NATO side - the chance of a non-NATO country not getting involved in the war is rather high given that fact

Now could the Soviets have hit their oil production capabilities - ok thats a possibility - but even then if Mombasa isnt a big hole in the ground (i.e. its obvious from Frank Frey that the refinery is still there) then it means that they didnt hit every refinery in every neutral country

And also Australia is very remote - hitting Mexico and Saudi heck yes - you dont hit the US and leave Mexican facilities alone and intact

As for Canada - its a NATO nation that sent troops to fight the Russians - you do that, you can get nuked

But I highly doubt, outside of volunteers that on their own went to the UK to join up with the fighting, that any Australian unit in the early part of the war when the nukes were still flying ever deployed to Europe

However Kenya, Korea, Vietnam, possibly the RDF - yes there I could see it happening but even then until Indonesia and New Guinea is settled not much beyond possibly a company or two here and there or possibly Special Forces types

Oh and volunteer units could have been large - I could see the country officially being neutral and several thousand Aussies heading out to join up - or they could have been a token force of a few hundred
