Yeah there are problems with the Aust map but all in all in was a good compromise. The aussie testers even had to push to get Alice Springs added. As Jcar has stated, the current map does not effect the game play.

Current Game I'm Playing, has Darwin with 692 aviation Support from salvaged DEI, Malaya, Phillipines Survivors...

I'd think that theres a big problem there , If theres no need to Sea Supply Darwin but pull supplies by rail from elsewhere..

300+ b17/24/29 there would devast Japan Held DEI.



Out of interest, what were the different viewpoints that eventually ended in compromise?

I am not sure if the Australian map innacuracies won't affect gameplay. I would have thought that there would be a big difference between Darwin being connected by rail and Darwin not being connected by rail (the actual situation). That is a pretty big departure from reality that could affect the defence of Australia quite a bit.

Apart from that there is the aesthetic (sp?) problem of the railway lines and roads being drawn in the wrong places. Maybe it is just me but it looks very odd, especially for a game that is a historical simulation.

One other thing I thought of - there sould be some type of road between the two bases in Tasmania (yeah - I don't expect THAT would affect gameplay).

OK, here's a preliminary on the bases that the US actually had in the Pacific in Dec. 1941. The map has far too many bases, airfields etc. on the islands of the Pacific.


Canton Island had an Army Air Force base (sorry, no details yet).

In the Original Pacwar one of the players posted some base corrections, might need verify but Canton Island supposedly already had a B-17 capable Air Strip (length)

Not sure how New Game sets AF sizes but the fix for The original Game was to make Canton Isl a size 4 (level bomber base)


So probably The AAF Base there should be what in this game would handle B-17's
