Rabaul with eastern Part!
« on: June 03, 2012, 02:19:38 PM »
Hi,
If someone dont know which map you could still make, a Rabaul with the eastern islands would not bad! Such as Green Island, maybe Bougainville and a bit more water around!
Perfect to simulate the Rabaul attacks during November 43!
Be warned! Otherwise, I'll make it someday! ;)

Thanks!

I really wanted to go out of the way after five maps . . .  ;)

I'm still plowing through a rework of Tainan's Rabaul map to depict it as it appeared in 1944.  I do wish the map had more to the east, and wondered if it could be cropped to the south somewhere below Rabaul proper to extend out further towards the Allied bases instead.  Someone did something like that with stock Okinawa and Kyushu maps once, so I imagine it is possible.  Very much out of my field of expertise though, sadly.

A couple of shots of current progress..

Very nice Bee. I have been following your thread on this and drool everytime I see your pics. I eagerly await your version of this map.

The ideal situation IMO would be to have just enough of Bougainville to include the Torokina airfield complex as it is represented on the Solomons Jan '44 map and to retain the original coordinate grid from the Rabaul map so that previously created missions would be compatible. 

And... Nice work Bee.  Looks great!

Green Island at least, would not be bad! But the pictures look great, Bee!  :)
