1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
+ l2 I9 G- N& r
2 i! G* Z" O+ M0 h% p9 P2 BAll 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.

( ?8 i# D' O1 V9 C& I/ d2 y" ?8 T. 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.
