What is "Against the Rising Sun"?
It is a mod for "Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30". The mod will be split into campaigns, with the Australian campaign in Papua being released first. The main focus of the mod is the fighting in the pacific against Japan during the Second World War.
Who do we play as?
In the first campaign, you will play as an Australian digger, fighting along the Kokoda trail, Milne Bay and the battle of the beach-head during mid 1942 to early 1943.
Other campaigns will include the "Chindits" during operation Thursday in Burma, the 3rd New Zealand Division fighting on Vella Lavella, Green Island and Treasury Island, and a continued Australian campaign in New Guinea, Bougainville and Borneo.
What will be so special with this mod?
Historical accuracy and realism are the key features. Alot of research is being done all the time to ensure every aspect is historically accurate. At the time of writing, the "Lithgow Small Arms Museum" and the "Australian War Memorial" are both helping out to make sure everything is correct. From the weapons, uniforms and equipment to villages, beaches and rivers - everything will be made as close to the real thing as the "Against the Rising Sun" team can get. The idea being to make an "interactive documentary".

I really hope this turns out. I love BiA and its gameplay and would love it even more if i was able to play a historic battle as one of my own countrymen! Too bad your computer died.
Hoepfully this hasnt died either...
Might be able to do some research for you if you ever need it.
Since I'm having trouble posting news with the new moddb interface, I'll just post here.
The PC with all my work had a power failure which fried the entire system. Both hard drives with countless hours of my work are gone.
I'll start rebuilding everything, but it is going to take alot of time as I'm busy with work and I have to collect all my reference images again and I need to build a new PC with Windows XP to be able to run BiA.
great it looks like this one is dead
Hey,
Got your email, all good info en-route.....
Your great uncle is the Everlyn Owen?!
The Lithgow Small Arms Museum are helping out alot as are the Australian War Memorial. I'm also trying to get my hands on the book "The Owen Gun Files". Any info you have would be great, the more the sources i have, the better.
Check your PM's.
Hi,
My great uncle Evo invented the Owen gun, Im also ex Aus military so I can give you a stack of info if you want it......
Im no expert programmer, so the likely hood of being able to add the banzai charge as something dynamic is slim. Banzai charges will occur when they occured historically - such as during the battle at Isurava. These banzai charges will be scripted.
