Which coral islands was Australia planning on duking it out  on?  And
with 
whom?

<snip>

Tanks on Coral Islands a re a lot  like Tanks in Vietnam - depends on 
operating leadership There was this book by a  guy named (Zumbro?) that
said it was a 
stereotyped based decision not to employ  more armor in Vietnam and told
his 
experiences in 'Jungle Busting' and varied  operations in Vietnam.
 
Real Life scenarios:
 
Indonesia on * Australian Soil	(okay anything with a * is not a coral
island 
scenario) should  Indonesia be so bold/foolish/come under fanatical 
fundamental leadership.   Peace keeping gone awry in * Papua or some
smaller island 
nation (smaller ones  might be extraction of besieged/pinned troops
scenario).  * 
Malaysia  breaks up (possible but not currently probable) and Australia
is 
part of  multinational intervention force.  Or * Indonsia/Malaysia
annexes  
Singapore.
 
I don't think Australia has sent  armor to any of the island nations she
has 
assisted in the recent two decades --  usually police are sufficient...
 
Tuffleyverse: IC (there's a theme  here. Grin.)  Free Hawaii? <grin> OU
would 
operate off planet Earth  mostly.
