This is, in fact, the major problem with a Japanese invasion (apart from actually
succeeding in the face of the mountainous terrain). Japan could not easily afford
the shipping to feed the population. They would have to (a) let the people starve
(promoting resistance); (b) allocate far too much shipping to permit war operations
just to feed civilians in Hawaii or (c) permit the population to be evacuated on
US or neutral bottoms.
I have created a device used at certain major cities (Tokyo, Chunking, Shanghai, etc)
which, together with a paired support squad (rendering the pair support neutral) which
serves as a supply sink. This device has no military value and no engineer value.
I found that these work better than expected at the few points they are needed.
For example, at Bombay and Calcutta in India. They also have remarkable effects
if production ends (due to enemy isolation or occupation of the hex - sucking supplies
from combat units - just as excess population does IRL).
