1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.% ?/ j, ]' o, X
( Z6 y% j- a, ^3 _& Z( U# 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.6 R0 L. m. O" l4 A, u

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.
: I) |* B6 o% |2 K5 v. |' P! J. ]2 ^- c" @+ ^
Because 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.

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.5 q; @9 ]! c; [4 \: ]% t$ ]4 L& \
