2 b( Y; y" ]* K% N1 z1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.( N% l4 I3 M7 y w8 u+ G( `/ K9 A
% g& k2 l% U+ a2 _All 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.2 ]; t3 U3 b7 i. U

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.
/ A# P+ t% R6 U8 X4 {5 x, J; V; Y8 } q7 U! X
Because 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.

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC6 u2 {6 g4 H; S
% s; V0 P% E j! Y0 I, ESWPAC 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.
