1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.) V* {/ U( T4 [5 \$ H$ y
. T9 h; z2 F+ t+ ]
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 j" v. l, ^, K/ B0 R8 ? j

! w* ?: Q9 j% t7 v1 @2 yBecause 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.: G o& P4 s$ g; {

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC

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.7 u( S, K# ]. P
