RABAUL 

(This is a fictional scenario, because the New Britain and Bouganville maps where not available to me , the scenario builder Ernst Wiltmann, at this time.In WW2, the allies bypassed this japanese stronghold.)

A strong american task force has been sighted, and bomber formations have taken off from Australia, according to our spies. You have to hold our naval base on Rabaul at all costs, if it falls, there is not much in the way of the allies to let them retake New Guinea and the Phillipines.
