1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.+ h" m' W5 [9 m. \
- i( f1 H3 @9 i
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.

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.# e! b- P* W- i. R
- Q! i3 ~" l/ Z' H5 I: Y: V8 @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., K& Y4 f4 L& D0 q, H( O3 ?; m

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC
9 {! R5 x o2 I- Z! a$ b2 M
' X6 p6 L2 a8 z# L" gSWPAC 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.
