1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.) V0 i5 j b9 W2 g, ?2 V
O7 X6 s* @9 W2 F& R- @! j { I$ zAll other islands are mountainous so Tinian has a x 4 AV multiple for forts, Saipan, Guam or Pagan would have x 12 because forts and mountains are mutiplactive. i.e. attacking the Marianas for the allies is a no choice option.! w+ M; p J p! @

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.$ g% }; F6 U8 v
`6 e+ S g1 Y3 t& B% h" `* aBecause it is not possible in WITP to interdict land reinforcements if the Japanese player is willing to take the losses he can put 2 or 3 Divs ashore in short order either by transport aircraft or massed AK invasion - Pauk did that to me at Gasmata so he knows the moves and PZB has completed it many times another 1,000 AV x 4 = no matter what the allies bring its not possible.8 ~' w+ V& t- u; L

* j C1 Y1 @. f& ? V! n; f( a/ K5 E; z7 G# F, Z9 N2 L
SWPAC is a valid attack route BUT with every base having lvl 9 forts and the Japanese able to reinforce and it being malaria it is a VERY tough attack route. Remember Noemfoor against PZB a single Bde can stop 2 - 3 Divs of allied Troops for a long time. Forts are just to strong in jungle and Malaria.
