1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.

6 n( H/ f9 Y, ^0 J0 ~- B( oAll 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. R: R! [1 e" a% w+ q* H4 o

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.9 A! o1 M! b2 N2 Q
0 U/ z0 D+ H/ ]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.' \/ [+ ^$ E h" f R

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.4 W4 Q& c- V8 b
