1. Operation Torch

2. Operation Overload

3. Operation Dragoon With Italian CL popping out in Aleutians I'd say that Johnston being a drop isn't worth anything as a hint. At this point anyone can drop anywhere. A fair point, but there isn't really anything else left in the European theater to use, especially with the new equipment. Unless we are going to the Artic. Only new information that I have heard can be broken down to the following:

- A 3 map event. I don't know if this means they will make a single map go a long way (multiple bosses, for example).

- At least one new shipgirl "drawn by a new new artist from Taiwan". I'm putting my money on Zeco.

- One of the ships will be an Italian with a long name... I'm putting money on Garibaldi's sister.

Given this information, I suspect that we are probably going to be mostly hanging out in the Mediterranean Sea. Last time we went to Europe, we did it in 5 maps and there is no reason to think that we couldn't do something similar with 3.

Heck, have a map similar to World 4-4 (look at Summer 2017 E3) as the starting point. Later maps would involve moving up to and through the Suez Canal and mucking about in the Mediterranean.

As far as actual operations, there is a campaign that lasted almost 5 years that took place exclusively in the Mediterranean... called the "Battle of the Mediterranean". There's probably a long list of individual missions, operations and battles that could be used. Yes, they wrote something about a new Italian light cruiser, so it's probably Luigi di Savoia Duca degli Abruzzi (we need a nickname for her). A 3-map event would fit due to the fact that the last event ended about two months ago. I think there will be two normal maps and just one EO map.
