The only occasion that Australian troops faced Japanese tanks in the Pacific was two Type 95 Ha Go Light Tanks at Milne bay. The Bolt Actions lists give Australian lists the options of Anti Tank Rifles or PIATS.

As you can see the mud saved the Australians from having to deal with them during the decisive battle for the airstrip.

At Milne Bay the Australians regretted leaving their ATR’s behind because even the Ha Go Light Tanks proved difficult to deal with.

The Australians did not like the PIAT because it was useless as a “bunker buster” and had a huge kick which often dislocated the firers shoulder.

By the time of the landings during “Operation Oboe” in 1945 the Australians were using bazookas to deal with enemy strong points.

The OOB for the Australian 101st Mortar Support Platoon has two Bazooka teams attached to the HQ section.
