is there a listing anywhere of total (potential) bases/cities etc?  Appendix 20.2 does all of the (small) islands but that's about it

Both locations can be found around the border region of the Celebes Sea and the Molucca Sea.
Manado will be on the extreme tip of the Island of Celebe (Sulawesi). Ternate should be found just across the water on Halmahera.

Hope that helps.

You can always use witpStaff. There's a good map tool.

Here is example where two of my units are planning Lae. Other one is at Truk and other one is at Tokyo.

Find the base you are looking for and notice that the far right column is the base map coordinates. Click on the coordinates and the map centers on the base for you.

Having two games open is also usefull for testing the first PBEM-Turn. Every mistake you discover can be fixed immediately without having to load again...

Another chapter in how tuff it is to play Japan!

Yup. Though he said he had TF's on the way there, and TF's reset to a friendly base when their destination is captured.

Having another command, something like 'e' to show a list of enemy bases (with only reconnoitered or previously known information of course) would be fantastic.

Apologies for stating this, but there have been similar questions asked and I am amazed that anyone would pay app USD$60 for a topic they know very little about.

There is an amazing amount of info regarding geography, aircraft, shipping, Land Units etc etc etc available on the web
which would answer this and the many millions of similar questions which the game is going to ask. have a look at the WITP Forum, there was a sticky with useful links. Have a read of them, they will give you a better knowledge plus a database to look at and find these sort of answers.

It has similar effect as "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

Can tell you from personal experience (IRL), Manado is the B**thole of the world. Visited there in 2006 for work reasons. Its hot( not that I dislike hot), dirty, unfriendly and very tense. Lots of religious and ethnic problems. Read up on them, it is actually quite interesting. Won't go into them here.

But, I must admit, it is located in a quite stunningly beautiful location and surrounds. City itself is awful but head out of town, its amazing.
