For historical information, Wikipedia has an article on Battle of Rabaul (1942).

Rabaul is a map set around Rabaul of New Britain island. It is fought between Australia and Japan.

Description[]

This is a large map with six control points, which are under Australian control.

The Japanese have Furutaka-class cruiser and aircraft carrier Zuikaku to begin the assault.

Whichever side holds five or more control points will incur a ticket bleed to the other side.

The control points are spread out over long distances, and many of the ground vehicles are thinly distributed among them, with the exception of Rabaul control point, which has the largest concentration. Fighting is mainly carried out by tanks, with support from infantry and aircraft.

In Conquest mode, the Japanese ships start off near the northeast corner of the map, and they will face fire from coastal guns as they approach southwards towards the bay. In Co-op mode, the ships are located just outside the bay.

Trivia[]

  • In the early development of BattleGroup42, a similarly named map 4303-Rabaul was ported and modified from a community map of the same name, which was originally made by Fritz.
