1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
: l/ Y4 d4 g! d. o ^: b3 U( G( O2 }0 Y( \8 P) z: b8 L6 H
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. Why did you not bomb before attacking.) L4 ~' }( H7 |7 _+ g7 U7 M h
) s/ u4 K- {$ W) ?: n8 z- iBecause 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.

: A! r* M9 A4 R5 n8 N$ }+ i% U" ^: c- W7 t1 ]+ N% C
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., I4 t0 L: Y8 H# E: ]" _3 d3 F. [
