Status: offline 		My apparently agressive human iJN just captured Midway in the early turns. It seems B17s in Pearl will be a few hexes short of range. B17 strikes from Johnston Island will be in range but currently like most of my bases is iniitally underdefended. Will a gaggle of subs and long range B17 strikes challenge the viability of an IJN Midway? I am hopefully the iJN will have a challenge keeping it supplied. Once know if his cvs and bbs are elsewhere, I can try some bombardments after my Pearl BBs are repaired. Can the IJN realistically hold MIdway beyond the first 6-12 months?

Given this event, I can expect other bold IJN strikes that I need to defend against.

Status: offline 		To answer your question I would say it totally depends on the priority you and him put on Midway. They can definitely hold it if they concentrate resources (which probably means KB) but then it leaves the South Pacific as a possible target for you.
I don't think it should be a problem retaking it during 42 if you really want it and cioncentrate your resources there.

In the end it's so dependent on where you concentrate your forces so it's difficult to give a straight answer.

Status: offline 		It doesn't really matter if IJN holds Midway. Its not on your supply lines and as mentioned in other posts is a pain to keep supplied. Let him keep until you are good and ready and then it will be a suitable isolated base on which you can practice your atoll assaults . In the meantime if Betties swoop on Pearl: have a wing of F4's on CAP. They won't come back a second time.
