1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.) s w. M- ]) l/ Z
& l: M" U+ C! U4 |; u
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.% F9 D2 _# \, z0 _1 J; b

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.% W# n1 A3 y( N$ }6 r Z
6 C& G8 i1 F: K( j* uBecause 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 p5 a( \$ S ~. M9 B' t- _- ^0 C, ^3 m. B; D5 g: S
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.4 u0 {: z7 h2 K6 C
