>In Japan's case only, I don't think the out of supply penalty should affect the forts and infantry on any of the islands.
They fought just as effective using the island resources only.
Actually I agree with this. Unlike American soldiers, Japanese soldiers didn't need a gazillion tons of materiel every day. They knew how to fight battles in slight resources.
AFAIK no Japanese held island was ever conquered by starvation. Every island had to be attacked or be bypassed, and virtually none of the bypassed island surrendered until after Nagasaki, even though some of them had been cut off from Japan for months.
The Japanese in the islands, in almost all cases, had enough ammo to make the out of supply rule irrelevant.
