1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
9 j* X8 u9 Q6 w1 x7 s* m3 \ F0 s0 |' e4 s5 Q6 c
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.

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.- a5 o3 W) _# v0 ~/ @2 P5 @
. H5 y. J) t7 zBecause 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.

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC: ^% ~3 e/ g4 [6 w$ {

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.; E& ^) d! m& ]' g ^' f; {
