ParticipantHi
I think you will find the Australian army did not fight in Italy, they were withdrawn back to Australia. However, the New Zealand Army did fight in Italy.

ParticipantHi, Errico:
The 14th Indian Division of the XVth Corps fought in Burma, especially along the southern coast of Burma.It was especially active 1944-45. I have had some of my British figures painted up as Indian Army troops because I focus on Allied-Japanese conflict in Burma. (My father was a Merrill’s Marauder). I also painted up my Nisei figures as Nationalist Chinese to represent the Chinese Army in India (CAI), trained and commanded by General Joe “Vinegar” Stilwell.
Good Gaming,

ParticipantI can’t see that anyone would object in a friendly game. Whether you could use such a platoon in a tournament is very much down to the tournament organiser.
