Allied Ports

[JALU3]

Ok, I have done a search and haven't found the answer, so I am starting a new thread.

I'm playing stock 1.4, still, and am starting a new patrol in FEB '44. A New Allied port has showed up on the map, that I have never seen before, two actually. One is definitely Port Morsbey. However, the other one is off the Dutch East Indies Island of Halmahera, on its west coast.
Now, if memory serves me right, this was not and is not on the SH4 Maps, and at that time should have still been under Japanese Control, as most of the Dutch East Indies were bypassed. So what is going on? I don't know whether to trust it, or avoid it as a trap.

Weird. Is it blue or red?

Blue, with the same icon as Midway and Johnson Atoll. Like I aid, never seen one there before, and historically I don't ever remember the Allies establishing a refueling point there, even in 1945, which it isn't in game for me.

The base name is Mios Woendi, I guess when they wrote the game they didn't have a map. ;) And it is only a tender, a tanker and a DE Evarts.

I'd base nothing at all on stock. The stock campaign has no redeeming qualities. It shows allied bases where the japs were, and jap bases where the allies were.

Look at RSRD if you want an in-game picture of what was what.

If that's the case, the one on the map near Halmahera Island, far to the west of Biak.
