I've been reading a little bit on the battle of the Aleutians. One thing I cant seem to find is where the air battles were. I know that Kates attacked Dutch Harbor, but where did the other air battles occur?

I'm asking because I made a map of Attu and Kiska, where there were invasions by both japanese and allied forces, but completely left out (quite unintentionally) Dutch Harbor.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw Folgore's link. Turns out most of the fighting was concentrated on Kiska and Attu.

Oh and Zo, do you still have the original load.ini of the Norway map? I was thinking of using the textures from Norway to tile the Aleutians.

"Report from the Aleutians" ....might be of use

I saw a vid on youtube about B-24's from there too

[folgore83]

I have 2 magazines (in French...because I am french) about Aleoutian campaign :




are you interested about more infos?

:wink:

[Skunkmeister]

Bien sur Folgore, anything we can get

[folgore83]

ok...i search informations :wink:

[Skunkmeister]

Asheshouse brought up and important point to my usage of SRTM data to make my maps, and I had overlooked something which may cause this map to change a little. I had overlooked the fact that the SRTM tif files are distorted (round earth - flat picture) and thus need correcting in order to get the proper shapes for the land masses. So here is what the Aleutians look like after correction:



Now, as you may notice, there is a large body of water east of Kiska. Perhaps by cheating a little I can get Unalaska and Akutan Island in there, and we would have a map that would include 95% of the places where battles were fought.

Option 2 : I make the Aleutians map on a map the size of New Guinea, where I could get more of the island chain on the map. It would be more time consuming, but it could be done.

What say yous?

[folgore83]

i think option 2 is very interested...but it must be playable.

When everybody will create a campaign or a mission, distances to be traversed should not be too long.

ok...in reality in Aleoutians campaign...distances are long; exemple : 15th June 1942, the 54th FS is based in Fort Glenn at Umnak...and with their P38, they must go for their mission to occupied Kiska at 950 km !!

it's a problem yes...it's more correct to have a the island chain but...distances should be so long.

An Aleoutians map who contained only Attu, Agattu, Shemya and Kiska...it's poor i think for create good missions or campaign...because this 4 islands represent only the " japanese invasion " ... How could we create the american reconquest after this?
