It depneds upon your situation, but you should be able to retake Marcus. I would do so, not because of strategic significance, but because there are forces there that you can kill for VP.

I agree but for a different reason. B-17's or other Alied aircraft flying from Marcus will basically cut (worst case) or greatly extend (best case) the time for tranport from Japan to Kewelign and the Central Pacific.
