1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
# Z2 ?8 a2 S2 r( ]) C9 [
p+ J/ ]( A7 i1 e* y. {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.

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.$ T, C; x7 P( p

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC
, A5 A9 a( X" v* q$ {' `+ o* ]! a m5 G: `
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.
