I have real problems with some of those airstrip locations, especially on Choisel and Santa Isabel. I HAVE flown over those islands, and they are volcanic mountain tops above water. There are NO FLAT AREAS for airstrips, unless you are planning of moving a couple of cubic miles of rock. The airstrip for Choisel that I landed on was located on a small coral island off of the southern tip, and the island was just wide enough for the airstrip and some coconut palms. It was surrounded by coral reefs, and was reached only by small boats. Santa Isabel does not even have that. You could set up a small floatplane base on the coast, but that is it. The Segi area strip is another problem. It never stops raining there. The strip we built in WW2 has been abandoned as unusable. An airstrip on Malaitia! What have the map makers been drinking, smoking, injecting, or snorting. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS, AND BEARS NO REMOTE ACCURACY TO THE CAMPAIGN. IF LARRY PUTS HIS NAME ON THE RULES OR GAME, HE SHOULD BE EMBRASSED BEYOND BELIEF.
Do some reading and research on the Japanese side of the campaign for goodness sake. They had MAJOR problems building airfields. Malatia is still malarial infested, which keep the Japanese out to begin with.
If the game comes out this way, I will still get if for the maps and ships, but do a major rewrite on the rules for airstrip location, and maybe a lot else.
