Trivia

• Starting Point 1 is from the Gulf of Davao. Davao was a major city and port in the southern island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It was one of the first cities to be attacked during the December 7, 1941 multi-target strike of the Japanese forces and one of the first major cities to fall to Japanese control in WW2. It became a staging ground for Japanese operations to Borneo, Philippine Sea, and the Marianas.
• Starting Point 2 is from Tawi-Tawi. During WW2 it is the location of the Tawi-Tawi Naval Base of the Japanese Forces and was a major launch point for operations going into the Southern Pacific.
• Node L is off the coast of Morotai
• Node S is north of West Papua
• Node Q is in Sorong. This was occupied by the Japanese in 1942 and was the staging ground of the Japanese forces for their Western New Guinea campaign.
• Node Z is off the coast of Biak. This was also the site of the Battle of Biak during Operation Kon. This was a landing operation by the Japanese forces that was thwarted by the American defense forces.
