There are three cases under which an Italian surrender check will occur. On the turn an amphibious invasion of mainland Italy is executed, a surrender check is made during the Axis logistics phase. This “pre-invasion” check allows for the historical result in which the Italian surrender took place the night before the Salerno landings. In addition, during the Axis Logistics phase, if any hex in mainland Italy is under Western Allies control and in supply, Italy must check for surrender. Finally, if all of either Sardinia, Corsica, or Sicily is under Western Allies control, a modified surrender check is also made during the Axis logistics phase. 18.1.1. German Garrison of Italy and Surrender Checks Under the first two cases above when surrender is checked, a value for the German garrison in Italy is calculated by adding up the basic (unmodified by weather) CV value of all the German units in mainland Italy that are not within 10 hexes of an Allied unit and dividing by four. In the third case involving Sardinia, Corsica or Sicily, the German garrison CV is not divided by 4. In all conditions, when the surrender check is made, if random(200)>garrison value, Italy surrenders.
