Tukhachevsky's Army and the Politburo (Interactive TFH 4.02) -- Admin thread

[Avindian]

Comrade Teterev's absence has gone on long enough. I call upon you, members of the Politburo, to nominate a replacement for this essential office.

Stalin

((I've just noticed: according to the first page, I'm both People's Commissar and Deputy Commissar for Justice. I guess this means I can never take a holiday, eh? ))

((Does each one have a Stalinist and a Trotskyite side? ))

((Zverev has a personality?))

((Faceless bureaucrat is a personality. I didn't say they had to be two different personalities.))

 

[Gen. Marshall]

NKVR operations are good as-is. There is no reason to invest in extensive spying operations at this time.

To assist Comrade Zverev, I would suggest:

Current Production
4 x Rifle Divisions (+1 repeat) [37.70IC]

Project Icarus
4 x Multirole Fighters (for 4th Shock) [33.2IC]
4 x Close Support (for 4th Shock) [30.2IC]
3 x Strategic Bombers (+1 repeat) [71.91IC] (To be completed in 14 months and the repeat in 28 months. 1 Multirole fighter to be built as escort in 2nd half 1941 and 1 multirole fighter in 2nd half 1942)
4 x multirole Fighters (2 each for the 2 Tactical Bomber Groups) [37.70IC]
2 x Transports (+1 repeat) [55.2IC] (To be completed in 207 days and the repeat in 13 months. 4 Multirole Fighters to be built in 2nd half 1941 as 2 escorts for each Transport Group) (to be placed at the bottom of queue because of

((Thank you Davout. Sorry on the delays, I recently had an appendectomy that delayed half my exams which I have been studying for. The plans should be up ~3pm EST))

 

[Davout]

((Pas de probleme, mon ami. Always happy to help.))

((Hope all is well!))

 

[Davout]

Does anyone have any comments or suggestions regarding the proposed Project Icarus Production Plan? If not then I suggest we put it to a vote so we can continue the march to Berlin.

I was going to reword it in fancy ways, but if that's what you want that's what you get.

((Re-wording into fanciness would be preferable so that it looks presentable when linked to the front page. I will keep on trying to work out how to fix the Far East in the meantime.))

((Tada!))

 

[Jack LEagle]

Production Plan. I vote Da.

Malenkov

 

[Avindian]

Looks like an error by one of your secretaries, Comrade Zverev.

 

[Davout]

((Well that prettification was certainly worth the wait.))

I vote Da to the Production plan on the assumption that the words "because of" can be deleted and a ")" is to be added to end the instructions.

I cannot vote an incomplete proposal. I suggest that comrade Zverev increases the quality control in his commissariat. There are responsibilities attached into being a member of the Politburo, besides fancy self appointed titles such as "2nd in command in NGO".
