It costs half a chit to align a minor, and three tenths of a chit for the Axis to declare war on Yugoslavia. So delaying might make some sense, if Yugoslavia is just going to be lost anyway.
US entry picture sent in a PM.

Naval movement:

CW search in the West Med. Guessing Italy want their SUB included so I proceed so. Can change it later if I was in error.
