Does the  "I"  Screan show  "Total Tonage Sunk"   ?? 

Roughly how many locations begin the campaign game as unlabelled "dots", which can be built upon as bases ?

Excellent work Andrew,

I thought the countryside around Bourke was a bit green, but the 8" of rain over the weekend will fix that.

What is this thing you call "rain"?

It was hard to know when to draw the boundary of the desert terrain in Australia. I tended to minimise rather than maximise its extent.

?What is the base 3 hexes NW of Pt Moresby?

That is Terapo - used for getting supplies to Wau.

I haven't seen any reference to Dobodura here, and it looks like there's no dot adjacent to Buna.  Did you combine Dobodura and Buna?

Yes, they got combined.

There are roughly 1156 bases in AE, of which roughly 316 start as port/airfield 0/0 (a "dot" base).

Fantastic map! 

I noticed both railroad and regular roads in same hex.  Is this for tactical and strategic modes of travel?  or Is it possible to damage the road/railroad networks?

Also any chance of seeing a screen shot of the Philippines?

Thanks

Thanks again for all your work[:D][&o]

Sorry. Missed it. I will try to post a PI screenshot soon. As for the roads/railways - they cannot be damaged. The railways are for strategic movement as you guessed.

Andrew

As allways I like your map work! Is is possible to see what Alaska and British Columbia look like?

ORIGINAL: Andrew Brown

WOW! That is an exceedingly cool map. Any Allied units pushed back to Myitkyina in 42 will be in for some major heartache.

I'd have to fire up the game again to get the actual unit ID, but it looks to be coastal artillery.

Thanks for reminding me. I should have known that !
But as an ARMY-guy, I am not always familiar with all that NAVY stuff. (expecialy not with those guys trying to play real soldiers[:D])

Sorry herwin I never replied to this earlier...

Bhamo is a town halfway between Myitkyina and Lashio.

Bhamo is included (it is a dot base so it is hard to see in the screenshot).

It looks like there's a beach at Indaw. The secondary road reaches the Chindwin from Indaw.

Indaw doesn't get a base. There is a dot base at Kalemyo though (2 hexes from Imphal).

There was a major base complex at Dimapur. Is that the beach at the base of the Imphal road?

Dimapur is included - next to Kohima. That dot base next to Imphal is Silchar.

The secondary road from Imphal to Kalewa continues on to Shwebo and Mandalay.

For the AE map, not every road is included. Roads of very poor quality, or trails, are considered to be present in most hexes, which is included in the movement rates. There are roads in this area that fall into that category, but I will check out this area again to see whether I have missed anything.

The road north from Mandalay stays to the east of the Irrawaddy until it reaches Indaw.

The maps I am using also show a road from Mandalay on the West side of the Irrawaddy, and that is the one that is on the AE map. I looked at my map and I can also see the road on the East side, but it is shown as being lower quality than the road on the Western side.

Thanks for your comments.
