RE: Japan 46 Campaign Supply Sources
I noticed that as well, and was wondering why you were not starting to wheel the 147th clockwise to make sure it could retreat.
The Japanese also have a few island supply sources and a supply source in Tokyo, but there is an inconsistency between the Coronet campaign and the scenarios with a later start date featuring fighting on the peninsulas.
As to whether it has a big impact on Japanese strategy: I'm not entirely sure about that.
There's not much strategic benefit to be gained from holding any peninsula. You can either a) Lose control of the objective hexes at some point or b) Lose control of the objective hexes at some point, and lose any units holding the area.
The main campaign scenario is too long to allow the Japanese to defend any peninsulas, the Allies have plenty of time to capture them with limited forces.
