I fully support Senator Phillips proposal to reinstate the Draft.

((What issues are you speaking of? The only issue I see is the need for transports. Is there something else?))The draft is formally reinstated. As soon as the issues with the Atlantic plan are sorted out, I should be able to update.

((LOL. That is just role play. HQ's and senior officers should "coordinate" the actions of the divisions, corps, and armies they control. ))((Still waiting on what you mean by "coordinating attacks"; I need to know specifically what you intend me to do in-game. Also, sounds like there's some debate about the budget, which is not strictly your problem.))

((All land units should be in defensive stance except those attacking Vichy. All in theater air and naval units have their orders individually spelled out.))((Okay -- so in game terms, just add them to the appropriate Army Group? Did you make sure to set objectives?))

First of all: Sorry for being absent. I had a couple of real life issues to deal with (of the sad sort).((Okay; thanks for the clarification.))
I guess we're just waiting to see if Gen. Marshall is going to make changes to the budget, then.

There's a option to coordinate attacks: 'Synchronize Arrival'. That option causes mobile troops to slow down, to make sure they're at the same time on the battlefield as the infantry (however, that's manual control only).

Some annotations regarding the plans:
(1) Caused by our little sneak towards Berlin (and the usual AI dumbness), we inherited significant Wehrmacht forces.
(2) From what I've tested (although the tests were very raw), the best option is to go on offensive (without looking up, I think Stalin simply lacks in either techs or doctrines).
(3) Just too mention: As usual the Soviet navy consists of a bunch submarines, and some very old surface vessels (with techs at the 1900 mark). Their battleships even get shot by some modern destroyers at that time. As in real life, the only really dangerous thing about the soviets is their army (which is one of the main reasons the Cold War never got hot: the soviets knew they may could take the continent - but never the UK or even the USA).
(4) Because son of liberty mentioned it: Invading behind the frontline is rarely a good idea. Normally you either do that as a sort of commando raid (Steal their stockpile) or if you've just so overwhelming forces that the existing front is too small for them (not counting the usual ones with a big coastline as the UK, China or Japan).
I second Avindian's condolences. If you wish to resume your role, I have no objection. You obviously know more about HOI3 than I. Is there some way we can command the German forces? If we can, then I agree. We should immediately go on the offensive. My regroup orders are predicated on the fact that AFAIK we cannot control any of the allied forces. If this is wrong, please enlighten me.I know I speak for everybody when I say you have our fondest thoughts and wishes in your time of need. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. No apologies necessary.
If you want to be more active in the thread again, please do let me know -- we could make you an assistant to son of liberty or find you something else -- but there's no need to rush things.
You cannot directly command them. However, you can tell them where they should invade.I second Avindian's condolences. If you wish to resume your role, I have no objection.

I have tried that with no luck at forming a cohesive strike force(though I could be doing something wrong). What I have not tried is assigning them defensive roles. One other question, can we request allied forces be sent to us as expeditionary forces?You cannot directly command them. However, you can tell them where they should invade.

If we cannot count on allies doing what needs to be done, we need to just follow my plan and counter attack when they are overextended.Not specifically; we can add an allied objective to have them invade, though.
General, I added your new budget to the OP.
