1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
8 E, z8 s/ }$ `9 A( |5 D, B; i% g$ g7 S
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.

3 y: S6 {, T* n$ Q$ C0 c( \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# h- w- l1 Y( S

& u! t$ H) V' O# `4 i; @5 N4 iSWPAC 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.$ ^8 ^3 g' n0 p8 f- [1 i/ I2 _
