Actually that COULD reconcile the two editions. Japan gets badly hit but the merchant marine fleet is mainly at sea. This leads to a number of the captains operating as merchant-owners of the ships trading extensively. These captains effectively form new clans over an extended area of the Pacific islands. Only later do they come together to recreate a Japanese nation. Now this could make a nice campaign.
