In my campaign against Dan Roper, he has taken several Northern Japanese cities in Hokkaido and I cannot get my troops to cross over from Kyushu to Hokkaido without spending the political points to change their HQ.
Am I missing anything when troops cannot move anywhere within Japan proper?
This is a Big B Mod...

They seem to be separated by water. Can't move land units over water without ships.
Nothing to do with HQ or Restrictions.

I thought that the Japanese were able to shuffle troops throughout the Home Islands without issue. Thsi is where the barges/small shipping came into effect I thought...

Only supplies, fuel, oil and resources can move across water between 2 ports of at least size 3.

I ran a test on the stock map, and I did manage to get a unit to march from Ominato to Hakodate, but at a very slow pace (overland, no road or RR connection). I need to run that again though to make sure I am not seeing things, but I got it to work at least once.

Hit the Show Road key and the Show Hexsides to see what kind of movement you can do.

What is the 'show road' key?
Thanks for the help Q-Ball!
IF I could could get those troops moving--even slowly--it would add another 3 Inf Div to the attack!

'R' is the road key I think. F6 is hexsides maybe.
If there is no road, but the hex side is green (or white IIRC), then your troops will indeed cross, but it will be at 2-3 miles day - ie cross country rate.

ANYTHING would help instead of having to spend Political Points...

John, what ever restriction may or may not exist there - will be a function of the Andrew brown Map, ie...it is not a function of the mod.
