20. Tjilitjap
19. Wotje
18. Balikpapan
17. Djokjakarta (say what? [&:])
16. Foochow (reminds me of "fu*ked up" somehow)
15. Hailar (not a jaw-breaker, just a cool name [8D])
14. Teloekbetoeng
13. Kwajalein (would be cool if I'd know to pronounce it [8D])
12. Eniwetok
11. Dutch Harbor (why it does not have Dutchie flag then? [:D])
10. French Frigate Shoals (WTF? french frigate?)
09. Ondorhaan (in Mongolia)
08. Wewak
07. Thousand Ships Bay (suits the game fine)
06. Vladivostok (nothing exotic, just a cool name [8D])
05. Soerabaja
04. Gili Gili (always a special place in any UV players heart)

Goodenough Island

Ironic since its good for nothing...

[Mr.Frag]

Goodenough Island

Ironic since its good for nothing...

Thats the point ... it was *Good* *enough* to call it an *Island* but not much else [;)]

[Williamb]

Of course you have MIDWAY which is midway to nowhere.

[DrewMatrix]

"Badenough Island" already was the setting for an opera, (not to mention it's frequent mention in "Rocky and Bullwinkle") so they had to use a variation on that name.

#13 Qua (as in Quad) -je-lean (My grandfather was stationed there)

#20, 17, and 14...no freaking idea. My mouth cramps just trying. I guess you need to be Dutch.

[cyberwop36]

Upolu, never heard of it til i got a message saying it built something. Sounds dirty.

16.Foochow- reminds me of FUBAR, thats where you probably get that.

[Bodhi]

I was just Peking at the forums with I noticed this thread. Nice to see a thread where people aren't getting Hanoi'd over aircraft production. They raise such a Hue and cry. At least it was over aircraft and not a Truk. It's not as if anyone's telling a Lae, otherwise it'd be time to Batan down the hatches. Wake up will you, and try to meet each other Midway.

Wotje think everyone?

As my mother said to me the other day when she was in her Wellingtons and Bikini, "would you like a Port, Arthur?" "No, just Buru some tea" was my reply. But that's another story.

PS. Sorry about my bad Taiping, maybe I'll get better Lucknow I've posted this.[;)]

[RUPD3658]

Ulithi sounds like something you should see a urologist about.

"I have a burning sensation in my Ulithi".

[Zorfwaddle]

Tarakan - It also means "cockroach" in Russian... in the area language (Indonesian/Malaysian etc) it probably means "place of the Taraks"

[satisfaction]

Pontianak....I wonder if they make a Dutch version of the Firebird?

(Pontiac did make the firebird....right?)

[fbastos]

hehehehehe...

05. The Angels!
04. Saint Francis!
03. Port-On-Land! (makes a creepy sense.. there isn't any port there)
02. City of United States! (Let's get Changri-La too!)
01. Van Couvert (some Dutch-French guy must have landed there)

And I didn't even cross the coast!

They raise such a Hue and cry.

Hate to be a stickler [:D], but isn't "Hue" pronounced "Way" (opening up a myriad of possibilities!), similar Vietnamese boggler is "Nguyen" pronounced "Win"

[jhdeerslayer]

As soon as Gili Gili is renamed Milne Bay I will be in WITP heaven. [:D]

[Grotius]

I like it as Gili Gili. Maybe they could add Milne Bay to the map, if it's not on there already?

I miss Hoskins from UV. That name sounds so ... British.

My favorites are Pago Pago, Gili Gili, and Sag Sag. Sag Sag sounds like what will happen to my waistline if I keep playing this game 24/7.

[Oliver Heindorf]

LOL !!

Yeah Sag Sag...reminds me of the prision Sinig Sing ..... [:D]
