I will finally be able to create an authentic 307th Bomb Group campaign with B-24's using this map. Thank you so much.

NEW MAPS COMING VERY SOON

Just doing some final testing -
I'm trying to make sure I've included all required textures and objects that are not stock.
The way I have done this is to use base versions of BAT 3.8.3, HSFX 7.03 and Modact 5.3, and see if the maps load and missions save.
I have tried to prune down the object and texture list so that only a few extra objects and textures are needed.
But, you must have Bee's "Rabaul - Welcome to Hell" map, as it is his version of the town, harbour and surrounding airfields that form the basis
of Rabaul in my maps. I feel that most people will have this map.

I have also used objects and textures from Tokyo Rose's "Green Hell" and Cyberolas "Singapore" - however, I have included the
objects and textures required from these maps. Needless to say, if you have these maps then you probably won't need them.

The maps will depict the changing balance of power in the Coral Sea/Solomon Sea, from Operation Watchtower - the invasion of Guadalcanal
by US Marines on August 7th 1942 - and then as "Operation Cartwheel" unfolded, through the subsidiary "Operation Toenails" and "Operation Cherryblossom" and
finally to the abandoned "Operation C" there will be the following historical sequence;

Coral Sea - Solomon Sea - August 1942 - Operation Watchtower
Coral Sea - Solomon Sea - December 1942 - Operation Watchtower
Coral Sea - Solomon Sea - July 1943 - Operation Toenails
Coral Sea - Solomon Sea - November 1943 - Operation Cherryblossom
Coral Sea - Solomon Sea - January 1944 - Operation Cherryblossom
Coral Sea - Solomon Sea - March 1944 - Operation C

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note all screenshots taken will il2ge enabled

7th August 1942 - Japanese counter-attacks against the invasion convoy off Guadalcanal




December 1943 - Japanese snooper overflies the new US airfield on Stirling Island




November 1943 - Routine Marine patrol prepares for takeoff from Vella La Vella - Barakoma airfield






Over Japanese controlled Ballalle Island - resistance encountered

Check back very soon

Do I understand correctly - there's going to be 6 maps?

Holy moly!! I've been waiting for this for a long while now. My mythical VMF-227 "Fighting Pumas" have their work cut out for themselves now. And so do I. I've made two campaigns based on the old Solomon map series totaling 137 missions. I had started building their third tour when you mentioned the upgrade to your great map. Thank god I'm retired and can spend some time with this.

First 2 maps in the Operation Cartwheel series now available for download in 1st post

Operation Watchtower Aug 1942 and December 1942

Note - The same objects and textures required are included with all the maps, so you only have to install them once to play all the maps


https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,57423.msg634400.html#msg634400

The remaining 4 maps will be available soon

regards
Squash

what a coincidence ... I am about to receive vol 2 of "Pacific Adversaries" and vol1 of "Eagles of the Southern Sky" so these maps are a welcome addition to my PTO module of BAT...
great work!

Hello Squashman,
I've actually been a quiet reader for years, but your 2 Pacific Maps are so fantastic that I would like to thank you for this. Thank you very much for your work and for the upcoming maps. The first 2 maps are running very well, loads and missions save in HSFX and in 4.14.1. (4.14.1. with 3doXX.sfs files from HSFX) A dream come true!
Thank You!!!!
