How aggressive are you IJN Dec7 invasions?

Just curious as to how aggressive do most of ya'll get as IJN in Scen 15?
I spend a couple of hours planning the first move (the most being 6 hours).
My turn 1 invasions or attacks are:
Jolo / Brunei
Davao / Kuching
Legaspi / Milo (next to Brunei)
Naga / Sorong
Vagan / Ambonia
Aparri / Khuto Bruhu
Lingayen
On turn 2 the force loaded on turn 1 makes it to Kendari which should make it difficult for any escaping shipping.
Also in China the attacks on Yenen, Chansha should hopefully bear fruit by the end of 1 week. I do alot of redistributing forces in Southern China to free up the divisions there for duty where they are needed, which is on the front. Most of the Mongol cav divisions are recalled for garrison duty in China which I hope will bear fruit by the end of week 2 by freeing up even more combat divisions.
I allow KB to attack PH, but I modify it by changing the Kates on Shokaku, Zuikiku to port attack and replace them with the Vals from Hiryu, Soryu.
A massive redeployment of AP (preferrebly 1500 size) takes place on turn 1 so I can load and deploy the 3 divisions in Japan to the front. 1 goes to the base south of Khuto Bhuto, 1 goes to Naga along with 16 Army HQ, Base force, eng, art, arm to help or reinforce the landing there, the other goes to Vagan or Lingayen.
I have debated on whether or not to cancell the Wake landing after quite a few drubbings there. 90% of the time I choose to let it go ahead.
Is there a way to unload and reload the preloaded units on turn 1? The preplanned loadouts are horribly wastful. Every opposed landing gets a bombardment group along for the ride. Found out the hard way that it is almost required.
Also alot of supply convoys are sent out with the biggest being 50,000 to Palau to support the operations in that area. I refit 8 AK as AR's, 4 AS, 4 MLE.
On turn 1 I spend alot of PP moving air groups south for deployment. Some are by cargo ship, some self deploy. I want 1 Kate, 1 Val, 1 Fighter group at Jolo by turn 4 (my baby carriers keep the area bottled up until then. 1 Nell or Betty group, 1 fighter group at Kendari and Ambonia.
edited: for some reason it did not space out my landing sites. Also should note this is against the AI only. PBEM would probably hurt if I were to stretch out that far that fast.
