1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
; G8 X, Y. _. `, k& e. h) e* N, q$ C8 m* a
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 U) w7 `& z6 _

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.

8 g4 q' {8 Y% G$ o6 q/ kBecause 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./ _: l4 J% ]7 Z) ?

3. Why did you not sweep the mines before landing ?

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.
