1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas., `- D2 g& p& s& Q1 H+ n7 o# e4 @" Q

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.; ]' N6 C4 G" [- _" k+ j

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.- Y* G# G$ ?! n( p.

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC6 d9 A4 _* a- f- m
6 X2 u. A. D5 A& I# v# ?/ ~( _
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.
