1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.$ M/ e' A, W+ }, ?6 g% ^; T$ N
9 N/ K8 T/ |1 z2 g) nAll 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.- l& K9 O D' r, V$ w* N# q0 u

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.9 W7 D* C5 t: G3 U

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.

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.6 @7 n4 B$ f% Y) q
