% x7 f* z% b! K; A
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.% H( C+ c* G+ |& {) h5 g8 W. W3 d

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.

8 k( o/ S. f" R2 T1 i# e3 SBecause 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.# I5 ~2 N5 T& \6 Y: v% ^+ P

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC
( b9 t: A+ X+ Z# A2 G9 I
& _, P4 {, Z7 i, \! T- M9 rSWPAC 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.
