Thanks Bcarreon93, glad you have been making good use of the map. It was a massive map when I started designing it in the beginning and I wished for it to be covered on every corner with some sort of campaign, glad you have successfully done that! Thank you for your work :) I will most likely look at updating the map once Marco changes the modding system as I'll probably need to re-upload the map again. I'm thinking of adding new foliage types as well as some updated areas. The only limitation is that I might not be able to add extra land areas to the left / right of the map as I used the biggest map size at the time. But will take a look when the time comes for sure.

Hey Sturmervdw, again this is a fantastic map. I went and made a complete Guadalcanal campaign depicting many of the battles on the island from August 1942 to January 1943. If you do end up adding to the map, let me know as I have a lot of photographic resources of the campaign and I'd love to see some additions for the later January and February offensives of the 23rd Americal, 25th Infantry Division and 2nd Marine Division.

Thanks for the heads up Menendez! Yes I would be willing to re upload the map wherever needed when the time comes. If I have enough time on my hands, I may even look at updating the map :)

Good day @Sturmervdw. I would like to break the news that Marco is considering of revamping the modding system to fit with a newer engine while also allow mods in the Nintendo Switch version. This means that Steam Workshop may no longer be the place where mods would be uploaded. Fortunately you can simply just reupload your mod to the new database so that it will also run there. Also Marco would upload a legacy version in which Workshop mods can still be played. A lot of modders and players relied on your Guadalcanal map for their own missions which are among the best in the Easy Red 2 modding community so I really hope you would reupload said map for these missions to continue in the new engine

BTW the mod revamp might occur in Spring next year after the Tunisia and China campaigns have been fully implemented, just to give a head's start.

Glad you have been enjoying the map! Unfortunately, I have no plans to update this map anytime soon as I am putting all my spare time into another game project, but I will definitely consider updating it in the future! :)

Hey its me again! I just want to say I've been making a lot of missions with this map and am continuing to do so. As for additions to the map, could the areas west of Point Cruz to Kokumbona and the ridge lines along the Matanikau as well as locations to the east of Red Beach like Koli Point, Tasimboko and then the mountains further around Mt Austen and The Giffu be added? I plan to keep going with Guadalcanal missions as long as I can use the correct ground on the map for various scenario's. One big one I really want to cover is the Point Cruz Line for the November and January offensives.

Thanks Snafu I really appreciate it! :) @MCMenendez I agree, but currently I have my hands full as I am working on another game project at the moment. But I will definitely look at updating this map in the future!

Just add some more Pacific vegetation on the map and it's better than ever

I concur with jaybee, this map is PERFECTION. <3 Thank you for the effort you put into this map.
Sturmervdw  [author] 3 Aug, 2024 @ 12:56pm 
@jaybee no problem at all! :) Glad to share something cool with the community

@Sturmervdw Is it possible to do a Carlson's Patrol mission on this map?

Would be cool if all the M1A1 Thompsons in the early marines squad were swapped for the M1928A1 model. The M1A1 wasn't adopted until near the end of 1942, and didn't start to enter the field until the last half of 1943. Similar thing for if the game ever adds the original M1903 Springfield; the only one in the game right now is the A3 model, which didn't get issued until the last half of the war.

Thanks @fudge and @maxaroni_pizza. Yes sure I can update the early marines squad with an early thompson for you.
maxaroni_pizza 23 May, 2023 @ 10:21am 
It is a very good map but can you add in the early marines squad a early 1928 Thompson SMG? But overall a very good map with very good missions.
Fudge 24 Apr, 2023 @ 12:21pm 
Looks very well made, I like the attention to real details.
Sturmervdw  [author] 30 Mar, 2023 @ 11:41pm 
@MCMenendez I might add some as crashed wreckages in a few places around the map, also maybe one sitting in the beach surf. I'm also thinking of making an aerial battle mission where the zeros will dogfight the wildcats :)
Sturmervdw  [author] 30 Mar, 2023 @ 11:18pm 
@MCMenendez I don't think I will add them on the map file, specifically because they are specific to a time after the allies captured the airfield, and some of my missions are based on before and during the allies invasion, so wouldn't make sense to have the wildcats on the field. I will however add them on mission files, so they will be specific to that mission and not the map entirely. I hope this makes sense :)
MCMenendez 30 Mar, 2023 @ 9:03pm 
@Strumervdw Could you add those new WIldcat planes on the map? Marco just released them and they would look good as both decor and a vehicle.
Sturmervdw  [author] 24 Mar, 2023 @ 11:35am 
Thanks so much @jackisme :)
jackisme 24 Mar, 2023 @ 8:10am 
looks very good :steamthumbsup:

@MCMenendez my new mission for Edsons ridge is out, check it out: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2951422911
Sturmervdw  [author] 23 Mar, 2023 @ 11:38pm 
@MCMenendez I have made updates to the map which inlcudes a redesign of bloody ridge as well as other small changes to the map. I created a mission regarding bloody ridge too, will upload the new updated map and also the mission sometime today :)
MCMenendez 22 Mar, 2023 @ 12:22am 
Also the ridge itself should be less rocky
Sturmervdw  [author] 22 Mar, 2023 @ 12:10am 
@MCMenendez sure I can remove those trees for you. I will do a bit more research into the battle of Edsons ridge and possibly add a few new things too.
MCMenendez 21 Mar, 2023 @ 11:11pm 
@Sturmervdw When you update the map could you also remove those trees blocking Hill 123? They make shooting quite difficult and the historical Battle of Edson's Ridge saw a lot of vegetation flattened.

Here are the trees in question [i.imgur.com]
Sturmervdw  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 1:10am 
Hi yes sure I can update the map and remove the zeros from the airfield. I was planning on making a mission for bloody ridge too. I want to wait to see if there are any other changes that people would like, then will do an update for the map :)
MCMenendez 20 Mar, 2023 @ 7:06pm 
Nice map. Only critique is the Zero on Henderson Field. Hopefully you remove it soon so that missions involving Bloody Ridge would have American planes instead.
