That's the emu wars.

Yeah this is the Emu Wars II, only this time the emus have nuclear weapons and they win even more handily than the first time.

Xemus.

I know.

I'm mostly marveling at the inanity of "the Australia wars" and wills like some actual details if they exist

Colonial Marines Operations Manual.

You're welcome.

I don't have that.

In 2182, Australia suffered a massive food shortage, and led an uprising against the Three World Empire that ended with a nuclear strike on Canberra.

Nuking Canberra to end an uprising LMFAO.

Thank you for providing an actual response.

Is the RPG supposed to be campy like RoboCop or Starship Troopers?

It was at that point that the final nail in 'I'm not sure they're taking this as  seriously as they perhaps should' was hammered home.

Yup. It actually started in 2172 and ended a decade later (meaning it was going on during Aliens).

I actually wrote the Australia Wars article! Here you go: https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Australia_Wars?so=search

Could you not have just linked that when I said I didn't have the book ... ?

[Still Collating...]

From interviews with Clara and Gaska, the RPG put that in as just a tongue and cheek reference to the event mentioned in the novel Alien Nightmare Asylum by Steve Perry. Have no idea why the recent novels are mentioning it so much...

The article is an abridged version, the RPG fleshes out the events in more detail and it doesn't seem that ridiculous when the whole thing is read. Besides, it's not like the USA has never used 2 nukes on another country... With crazy times and batshit leaders, I can totally see that happening.

I think the writer of Bishop is Australian. (And isn't Cara for that matter?)

Nuking the country makes sense, it's just the notion that anybody would give a shit if Canberra got nuked is hilarious to an Australian.

It's what happens when you try and cram in too much 'old lore' in without any real quality control.

[SiL]

It's what happens when your knowledge of Australia extends to "the capital city is Canberra and that's where parliament meets".

Anyway, we digress.

[SM]

Also that.
