1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
( D/ b1 g% @- \1 N0 c; K
/ `. t" Z0 ?; d& C6 k; VAll 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.# d8 p7 y+ X; U6 a& ^+ Z3 Q

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. S8 z! ?) H7 {0 m
