Another is Wau, I depicted it as a forward Japanese base as well in the K-61 campaign ,but as further research reveiled it never left RAAF hands throughout the war.
I quess it just shows how much research is in order to get a good historical campaign made. :whistle:

Carry on :ernae:

Hi Gedm,
According to Ian Downs' work "The New Guinea Volunteer Rifles" (1999) the last Australian presence in Wau was on August 30th 1942, when members of Kanga force and the NGVR systematically destroyed buildings, stores and ammunition and cratered the aerodromes and roads before withdrawing towards Bulldog. Most of these men were eventually ordered to head south along the Bulldog track (including my father-in-law, who was a member of the NGVR). While it is true that some of these men were incorporated into independent units, such as Z special force, and continued to undertake operations from around Bulolo, the RAAF did not return to Wau until much later.
cheers,
Mike

Joing this thread late..

Arndt,

Just downloaded and installed this package. My first reaction on looking at the inevitable "You have to spend all day adding bits to make it work" was "Oh Hell" , To be honest, I normally leave it, which is probably why I haven't got into the Rami scenarios. (Sorry Rami) :) .

I persevered because the photos in the PDF looked attractive, and it looked like you'd put a lot of work into it. I am so glad I did. It's absolutely breathtaking. The attention to detail, the immersion, it's one of the best maps I've seen in CFS2. I am certainly now a fan of your work!

Many thanks for putting this together, I'm really enjoying it.

Best regards
