1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
6 K5 a+ w9 t& d- ?9 m5 Q
9 h4 P. R' y. i: h. A8 ~$ f2 @0 KAll 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 p. ~$ O: e. E8 rBecause 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./ S4 j3 j. |+ K

/ T. x. Z7 K# ^/ |$ p' p- BSWPAC 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." z: a6 `/ V. k' g: _5 v4 p
