I agree. The allies have 3 main targets early PM, GG, and Irau. Irau is the easiest, as p-38's can fly some cap to help cover the landings. However, it is also the easisst for Japan to hit with bombardment raids to hit planes and supplies that are being brought in. PM and GG require carrier aircover, and the US CV's should be busy protecting the fragile AP's from the IJN, so these landings should be more costly up front. Once this happens, the name of the game is shipping. If Japan can sink, or in 43 even damage, enough of the US transports, they have a chance. all those divisions and planes need supplies, and lots of them.
