Bougainville

Post by dwesolick »

Quick (dumb) question: On the island of Bougainville (in AE), Torokina and Shortlands are both attached to the main island, right? In other words, you could land at one and march (through jungle) to the other, right?
I seem to remember that being the case but just wanted to confirm.

Not sure in AE, never tried. In real life they are seperated by water.

On my stock map the hex side between the two is white, meaning passable by land or sea. Just use the F6 key to see if the hex side is green (land only), blue(sea only) or white.

What BBfanboy said. Some map versions have them connected, some don't. F6 is your friend.

I'm using Bellum Pacifica V3 extended map and visually they are separated, however, the hex sides are white.

there is a technical term for those who confuse the opinions of an author's characters for the opinions of the author.
the term is IDIOT.

Hexsides are governed by the pwhexdat file, not by map art files.
