1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
$ y, G: e- L' i( _4 p! K' S4 c
. E( }) }! B5 R- N# L/ R8 mAll 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.
; w$ m: b6 W9 {: K3 P3 c
1 q, ?" R& i3 lBecause 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.6 g0 v, Z1 Z. a.

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC
6 r' h& A: b( v, [; g$ Y l4 @) n
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.& B* r" L' Z' p3 V
