Kokoda Track - Beta version 2

By: Gerry

For: Call of Duty - World at War
-------------------------------

Notes:

The map is based in the mountains of New Guinea & focuses on the battle that took place there between The Japanese Army & Australian Imperial Forces. Jul - Nov 1942.
This campaign lasted until Jan '43 but Kokoda was retaken in Nov '42.
The combat at times hand to hand, took place on steep mountainous jungle terrain (upto 7,500 feet) from Imita Ridge to Kokoda, some 50 hrs away by foot. The principal method of transport.
Many of the soldiers who fought & died here believed they were defending Australia from invasion.
The map is not accurate, however it's influenced by what I've researched & aims at trying to give an impression on a battle that sits close to the hearts of Australians. However in order to make it fun & improve gameplay, there are other elements added to the map that change it from a true depiction.
The campaign ended with the defeat of the Japanese on the coast at Buna, Gona & Sanananda by a joint American - Australian effort in Jan 1943.
