It is history without frills, tautly directed by Chris Thompson, and its cast is strong and effective. The action of The Last Bastion is divided mainly between Canberra, Washington and London: each place providing its own particular share of tension: In Canberra, there is Curtin facing not only the Japanese threat but opposition from within his own party on such matters as conscription In Washington, there is Roosevelt wondering whether or not to commit troops so far out of America’s defence perimeter and in London, the cigar-chomping Churchill – falsely believing Australia is protected by Singapore – does not take Australia’s plight as seriously or as responsibly as he should – until Singapore falls to the Japanese.ĭavid Williamson spent two years writing and producing The Last Bastion. As a piece of television, the miniseries offered the sort of viewing rarely seen. Despite their mutual antagonism, MacArthur and the Australian commander, General Thomas Blamey (Ray Barrett), finally halted the Japanese advance in New Guinea.

If you let us fail, America itself is in danger”.įinally, Franklin D Roosevelt (Warren Mitchell) sent General Douglas MacArthur (Robert Vaughn), whom Curtin appointed Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the Pacific. It was also Curtin who finally succeeded in bringing America to Australia’s aid, as he said in his 1942 broadcast to the US: “We are the last bastion between the Japanese and the west coast of America. It was Curtin who realised it was no good relying on British support when Britain herself had enough problems. Curtin, the leader of the Labor Party, succeeded to the Prime Ministership on 3 October 1941, following Menzies who was forced to stand down, and the brief tenure of Arthur Fadden (John Clayton). Where Menzies regarded Australia as being a sort of offshore British Isle, John Curtin (Michael Blakemore) took a more realistic view when it came to enlisting aid. This miniseries from Channel 10 (Australia) – subtitled “Australia Under Siege” – told the story of those three years. Little more than three years later, when Australian and American troops stopped the flow of Japanese invaders along the Kokoda Trail, the axis had shifted. With smaller groups taken care of, go help Hendrik deal with the much larger horde.In 1939, at the outbreak of World War II, Australia’s then Prime Minister Robert Menzies (John Wood) was still looking traditionally to Britain for advice and assistance, dealing with Winston Churchill (Timothy West), who regarded Australian troops as being there to help Britain, rather than the other way round.

Head west past Cobblestone Fall and exit southwest to the Heliodor Region. Speak to them after winning each encounter to receive some items. The safe haven Blue John was talking about is Cobblestone Village, now renamed the Last Bastion. If there are no cards in the enemy deck, take the closest enemy card counterclockwise from the gate and move that card counterclockwise around the bastion until. Once the fighting starts, you must approach the other soldiers and help them defeat the monsters. Go save your progress and join the troops outside the fortress. You don't really have a choice about this as usual so just agree. The king then asks that you join forces with Hendrik to save humanity. Head over there to see Hendrik who still isn't very friendly. There is a ladder just to the left of that tent that leads to a chest with 3000 gold coins.Ĭarnelian will send you to the north gate to meet the "hero" who has just returned. After a brief reunion, she suggests you see King Carnelian who is in the royal tent to the west at the center of the village. Follow her south towards Cobblestone Tor and Amber will be there. Once you finally make it home, follow Sandy into the village and you'll see Gemma again. These enemies give as much as 10,000+ experience per kill so it's very much worth it. Also, if you come across Vicious Metal Slimes at any point, make an effort to kill it (assuming it doesn't run away). The safe haven Blue John was talking about is Cobblestone Village, now renamed the Last Bastion.
