1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.$ Z# D$ l: F- K1 D# k) r f* L
' d( {0 M1 k0 h) C& q
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.7 U7 z, M1 q8 N$ n5 r; p7 A

# D! A8 f9 n3 t1 r$ PBecause 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 g+ T% V+ Y" i9 N) k s, G4 N

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC G& d1 {8 \; ?. @
- x/ P6 e1 \' L8 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.
