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 s! H0 M4 h7 S3 n- y z8 Q% f [7 N0 m3 R6 @ Y

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. * V5 r1 V5 W H8 A3 M : l: z2 K8 L4 @/ ^+ q8 E3.

8 ?, t& }' x8 p. i7 wSWPAC 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 G H" g- C- {# E1 f7 y' ]+ E1 G2 ] }; n- w( f
