A close-up of Dutch New Guinea and Papua. The Hermit Islands will be part of the Carolines map segment (next to be done).

4th and last in the series. You can't quite walk a marine from Guadalcanal to Rabaul. By the way, this zoom level 7 (of 8).

Too bad there's not a "triple-diple-jungly-jungle" terrain type for Papua New Guinea.

Tulagi was such an important part of the Guadalcanal campaign, i'm surprised to see that it doesn't have a minor port. I suppose it's not in WIF FE? in which case, how about a small label after Florida, i.e. Florida (Tulagi).

The label "Milne Bay" is a bit too far to the east, making it look like it is refering to something on Normamby Island, or the Louisiade Archipelago...
I notice that Vella Lavella has "Baa Baa Baaa" (reference to VMF-214 Blacksheep), but The Slot and/or Ironbottom Sound, or JFK's PT-109 wreck site is not labeled... WTH!!! *Throws arms up in total outrage* [:'(]

I had added "The Slot", but Steve posted screenshots without the latest data files from me [:D].ORIGINAL: mlees

I vote no on PT-109. Nothing against JFK, but this is a military history game, and PT-109 was not militarily significant.

Jujst wondering whether Gili Gili and/or Shortland should be a minor port ... ? Maybe not. (I got WitP on the brain.)

PT-109 rammed by destroyer in Blankett Strait:

5th and last in series. An overview of today's additions from Rob. Patrice did all those names.

Great looking maps and even more interesting with all the Island names added. It really adds a lot of flavor to the Pacific campaigns.
