: p& f& a2 }/ o% \$ f7 _7 P6 _, uAll 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.$ O% O3 m. n) V' Y& ^! q$ w

Why did you not bomb before attacking. 8 w7 n& w; Y7 }/ m6 N* G' w5 u2 L - f$ A, D3 `! ]' 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.

# j& \4 D+ \' e. L. ASWPAC 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. ) {1 n8 q) c* Y2 U2 t) ~# P. { $ d+ h3 q( @5 A: |5.
