A "waxing gibbous . The Italians would like to be able to see where they are going, & whom they are sooting at. As invaders have learned the hard way for centuries, to invade this mountainous region one must take advantage of everything available to them.

In addition to the above (maximal light conditions while still benefitting from the cover of darkness), a waxing gibbous moon
The reason this is important is for amphibious landings. Very high tides tend to flood beach defenses (which are usually designed for as far safer to use and more likely to reach the beach intact.
One note: modern low-light and infrared technologywi now generally chose to attack during phases close to the new moon ) and in bad(cloudy, ra can have such vision-enhancing equipment) AVOID waxing gibbous moon phases.

Waxing gibbous
The moon would be called a waxing gibbous when it is just larger than a half.
It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.
The moon goes through two main phases, waxing and waning. Waxing is when the, from your position on Earth, the moon is systematically getting more visible. Waning is the opposite, when the moon is getting less visible. The moon goes from a new moon,(0% is visible), to a crescent moon (waxing), then to a first quarter (waxing), then a waxing Gibbous, and to a full moon (100% is visible). After a full moon, the moon begins waning to a waning gibbous, then a last quarter, a crescent, and finally a new moon. After this the cycle begins again. These are the visible spectrums of the moon in relation to a point on the Earth.
Since the date of the question doesn't appear on this screen, the answer would be "yes" on 7 or 8 days, and "no" on the other 21 or 22, out of every 29 days. The question was actually posted on January 7, 2011. In that month, the 4th is the New Moon, and the 12th is First Quarter. So, on the day the question was posted, the complete answer was: "No. It will remain a waxing crescent for another 5 days, and it will then spend the subsequent week in the waxing gibbous phase".
Between full moon and third quarter is called "waning gibbous."
