The Japanese from a newbie’s perspective

If you leave those islands then the enemy can deploy long-range Maritime Bombers there to spot what you're up to, and they might also be able to send in troops by sea who can then prepare invasions elsewhere.

You mean the 0 MPP islands? Ok, I'll reconquer at least Peleliu then as it is so near to the Philippines. I've heard that in the long run there's a Java invasion script for the US - or is this offset because I took Hawaii?
