1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.$ u6 w3 \& ^# l! [' N
) k8 m/ a4 _( n+ H$ U# `* h n
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.

* c3 m7 e5 z5 E, LBecause 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.: c) d/ [+ N2 Y% u

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC
3 H9 G( i( U: R& q! V4 h( z6 B3 \+ H8 ?( C$ G
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.
