1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.5 u; h) S4 a" `
* K Z7 [6 ~7 y& l5 BAll 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.

$ P6 i4 w8 F6 q) s3 P' H. {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.- h! y8 T a% t+ h0 {8 G

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC
, ?2 f6 T7 B9 A( P8 R& F: D U0 A7 S$ N4 d/ m
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.
