Japanese-Soviet Neutrality Pact.

Both the Japanese and Soviet get to draw a pact chit this turn. The Japanese draw a 3 value chit which they put in their offensive pool. They also move a 1 value chit from their offensive to their defensive pool. The Soviets draw a 4 value chit which they put in their defensive pool. They also move a 2 value chit from their defensive to their offensive pool.

US Entry. The US draws two entry chits this time. The first chit is allocated to the German/Italy entry pool and a 3 value chit is drawn. The second chit is allocated to the Japanese entry pool and a 1 value chit is drawn.

The US elects option 34(17), "Pass War Appropriations Bill", which has a tension of 13. This means that there's a 70% of 1 and 30% chance of 2 chits being moved from the entry to the tension pool. The US tension roll is 6, which means 1 chit is moved. The US selects the Japanese pool and the roll moves a 1 value chit from the entry to the tension pool.

US War Drums. War drums start to beat in the US for war. The chances of a successful declaration of war, which are no longer 0, are low. But, those in power in the US will be looking to "optimize" tension and entry level in order to maximize their chances for successfully declaring war. Though as these US officials get closer to that aim, the chance of being preemptive by the Japanese grows.

Great Britain. Free French. Operation Leapfrog.

The British combine and French naval were taken in order to conduct Operation Leapfrog, which turns out is a flanking invasion of Palermo to be carried out by the Royal Marines corps and the 1st and 2nd British infantry divisions, recently rebuilt from their loss in establishing the initial British beachhead on Sicily.

British wargame planners put the success of this operation at somewhere between 70 to 85%, which is far from certain. So far so, that British wargame planners gave consideration to at least two other invasion sites, which were in the southeast corner of Sicily. Sites that gave much higher odds of getting ashore. However, the problem with these alternate sites was not getting, but staying ashore and being in position to make a real contribution to the conquest of Sicily.

While Operation Leapfrog is really a flanking invasion instead of a "leapfrog" invasion, the operation name was kept in order to confuse any axis spies who might have gotten wind of the operation through poor OPSEC on the British or French side.

Free French and RN Naval Moves.

(1) Free French Transport at Cagliari, loads the British Royal Marine corps on the Coast of Sicily and moves to the 3-box off the Italian Coast.

(2) 2 RN CV's, 2 BB's and 3 CA's move from Malta, 2 of the 3 CA's load the 1st and 2nd infantry division out of Sardinia and move to the 4-box off the Italian Coast.

(3) 8 Queen Elizabeth Class battleships sail from Malta to the 3-box off the Italian Coast. These forces join with 2 RN CV's, 1 BB and 1 CA already on station there from the end of last turn and the loaded French transport that just moved out there.

Great Britain. Palermo, Sicily. RAF.

The RAF do their bit for Operation Leapfrog, though at the cost of a lost group of Blenheim bomber, though mitigated by their aircrew surviving.

The RAF managed to disorganize the Italian 1st infantry division, which will contribute +1 to the attack, and the Italian tactical bomber, removing the threat of 3 defensive ground support factors.

Also, the RAF managed to turn away the two Italian fighter/bomber groups attempt to add defensive ground support to the Palermo defenders.

Now it's up to the Royal Navy and British army to finish the job that the RAF started.

Great Britain. Palermo, Sicily. Land Combat.

The RN provide massive bombardment support that adds 32 factors to the assault. With this naval support, +1 from the RAF and +2 from Alexander (HQ support) the army manages to get assault odds that have a 90% chance of succeeding. While high, and 5% greater than the far end of the 70 to 85% estimat provided by the British wargame planners, the 90% was still not certain and cause for a bit of "stomach churn" as the "dice were rolled". But, everything quickly settled and turn to cheer when an "18" was rolled.

The British capture Palermo, overrun an Italian bomber and fighter group and put all axis units on Sicily out of supply. For the axis it isn't about holding Sicily any more. The only objectives are to fight a delaying action and cause the allies as many casualties as possible.
