1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.6 l; y0 J6 u6 d$ |+ d
6 n2 c& a% P: Z6 ^) B( }# x' tAll 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.- {- s! k- J5 @( h5 f5 p3 H2 Z

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.0 Y: k2 ^: \; I/ }* g( |- n
