The Slot

I should add that this does point out a problem with the PTO and airfields. When the campaign starts, guadalcanal and buin are all there is. The US beefs up the 'canal, and the IJN starts building more airfields (like Munda). The US takes the new airfields, then beefs them up more. Ondonga is a US base, not japanese.

I think by far the best way to do the project is to build all of them first. Then we can make a version earlier with the runways/taxiways deeted very easily. Hit it with the WOOD tile, and it's gone. Very easy.

I could see at least 2 versions. An early 43, and a later 43 version. In the former, The fields short of Bouganville would be Japanese. No Ondonga, etc. In the latter, even Munda would be American, and would be bigger, no trees, etc. The CBs may have simply scraped down the hill, they flattened many small mountains to make air bases.

Of course the latter map might make more sense to abbreviate at New Georgia (as an "online" version?).
