Their base was on "Munda Island" and the base was called Vella LaCava (which was actually on Vella Lavella if you look closely at the maps). Espritos Marcos was the island next to it to the east (Kolombangara). From their central postion in the Slot they could attack any island they chose, be it San Minto's Reef (Guadalcanal) or the huge japanese stronghold on Choiseul...
Would be a change of pace for sure.
I was in the process of making a VMF 215 campaign when I saw this subject come up at M4T, using Peleliu as the Solomons from Munda to Bouganville
The 215 flew from Vella LaVella as well, but it is not as well known as the 214
Marine Squadrons were constantly being formed and broken down, each squadron flew three tours, then the number for the squadron went back into the "pool" and it was re-formed. Each tour was about 6 weeks with a break in Australia (Brisbane if the squadron was lucky)
This gives a great chance for having the player do a multitude of things. My first two tours were going to be with VMF 215 in the Solomons, focusing on neutralizing Kahili and Ballale. Then the player is "injured" and VMF 215's 3rd tour goes on without him.
The player joins a new squadron months later, flying off of carriers, perhaps at Okinawa. Didn't get far enough along to decide which squadron, because now I see the quality of this map and the dedication going into it
I am also still making a pack of F4Us that was to be for the campaign. Birdcage Corsairs, from the squadron pool. Still WIP but here is a sample:
I had planned on at least 25 skins, perhaps more, all individually numbered of course. Some with factory paint schemes, some with field applied paint, and other individual changes. Still will make the skin pack, as a generic early F4U selection for Marine units
Skunk, this map work is excellent. I am an experienced mission builder and would like to offer you my help in making airbases and other locations populated with set objects. No aircraft, no barrels, no vehicles, ships, or artillery except for static defense, with Historical emphasis if possible
For examples of my previous work please see the campaign "white sun, blue sky"
I feel that since the hack is here, the best possible effort should be made in regards to how it's used, and you impress me very much with this work. I imagine you are working with others on this; I don't mean to exclude them. I'd like to help if I could
