OOC: I have been toying with the idea of playing this AAR in co-operative multiplayer, and it's a good idea, but it should be done during the war only. Everyone needs to chime in on whether or not they like this idea.

Mr. Prime Minister, the contract of Basic Interceptor Development should be awarded to Supermarine as they are the best in the business and we need modern fighter planes urgently. Once the new plane, codenamed "Hurricane Mk. II" is developed, we can then start the expansion of RAF Fighter Command.
It has been done, and the Supermarine designers tell me that they have high hopes for this design.
Sir Chatfield, now that I see your point on the Fleet Air Arm, They will be given a higher priority, and Avro has begun prototype research on new designs for Naval bombers. They expect that the design will begin production early next year. How many squadrons do you think is adaquate to take on the Reggio Marina? Also, I shall inquire upon the worthiness of influencing Il Duce. I would also think that Bomber Command could be used for better things, as they aren't trained to bomb shipping, and their planes aren't designed with that in mind. I agree with Sir Boyd that offensive fighter cover is a long time away, maybe we could begin such things in 1938, after building up more interceptors in the isles.
Mr. Chamberlain, what industry expansion programme would you have us do. (OOC: there are 15 free IC's left for production, and it would be nice to have some expansion in india). Also, I agree on your statement on our air priorities. Note that I think that the Spitfire would be an adaquate design for escorting our Naval Bombers in the home isles.
Sir Boyd, since we are a little short on liquid wealth now, and supermarine is very expensive to fund, I have decided to put Hawker onto the Hurricane Mk.II project.
Anonymous, you have been promoted to commander of forces in subsaharan africa. If you so please, you can draw up a future possible plan to invade ethiopia. The forces you have are 9 divs militia, plus anything you can scrape off of Middle East Command. Fortunately, italy will not be able to supply their troops, should they be at war with us.
