Turn 15. Jan/Feb 1942. End of Turn.
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.
