This is a fantastic thread, and one I think slipped under a lot of folks' radars. I was wondering, could you or some other obliging fellow grace us with the composition of some of the other major governments? We know the people in most of the positions, granted, but I'm quite anxious to know just what skills they have. :)

Isn't he already a minister (security):confused:

I was thinking of Beck, Fritsch, Reader.

Since I am no Betazoid, and I was only interested in the Germans (to start the game with) I gathered the info and it appeared juicy enough to post.

Since I currently have no interest in the other government (for now) someone else will need to post them.

Eh, overlooked Himmler on that list. Fritsch and Reader, I think are worthy of sacking, but Beck I hope to keep on. After Manstein and Ribbentrop, he's probably my favorite personality from the Third Reich, and here's hoping a coup (or a fancy bit of editing) can be accomplished to replace Uncle Dolph with someone who (in my opinion) was infinitely more capable and competent.

Beck? Last thing i would use as Germany would be the defence bonus (or so i think:D)
School of Maneuver, Mass Combat, or even Psychology and Fire Support would be better.

The best one is the armanent minister, Schacht.

Neurath is ok, although Biased Intelectual could maybe prolong the war outbreak.

Himmler can stay, i suppose. I don't know the effects of Loyalty, Dissent and Resistance.

Fritsch, yesss... another defense proponent. Like i'm going to build lots of fortifications:D
If he would be at least Elastic Defense proponent...
Either Armour Spearhead, Guns and Butter, or Decisive Battle doctrine.

And well, for navy, Indirect Approach. Doenitz? Although possible Sealion would mean Reader can stay.

Ah, one more thing. The counter-intuitive one. For Soviet Armanent minister should be Laissez-Faire capitalist:D
(I doubt there is one, though...)

Canaris looks like the most obvious choice for a swift change of job to minister for reforestation i.m.o. I can cope with a defensive military for a couple of years but I want accurate intelligence about what the world will think of my land grabs from day one :)

Although i would prefer Techincal specialist, obviously, at least before the war.

Yes, as I recall, Canaris wasn't the most capable man IRL, either. Eclipsed by Heydrich after quite an ugly power struggle between them for several years. Could be wrong, but I think he may have been in that position simply by virtue of his support for Hitler in the early days of the Nazi rise to power ... ?

Hmmm. I though SD sucked big time compared to Abwehra. But maybe it was because it was concentrated on taking over the latter first:D

And Soviet corresponding:

Security Minister:
Genrikh Yagoda

The Back Stabber uses his position to root out dissent and disloyal elements within the elite, but he is unable cope with occupied territories because of his untrustworthiness.

Chief of Navy:
I.S. Isakov
Basecontroll Doctrine (Cheaper marines, naval bombers and transports. More expensive destroyers and cruisers and tactical bombers)
This Chief of Navy directs the utilization of the Naval forces by the doctrine of Base Control. Meaning that for winning the war it is essential to hit directly at the enemy bases, and take control of it with air and land forces.

Chief of Air:
A.E Golovanov
Army Aviation Doctrine (Cheaper tactical bombers)
This Chief of Air Force directs the utilization of the Air forces by the doctrine of Army Aviation. Meaning that for winning the war it is essential to work closely with the Army and destroy the enemy land forces, preferably by bombing them to pieces.

I guess i might prefer:

Intelligence Minister- Political Specialist (Positive bonus when doing coups)
The Political Specialist uses his 'technical embassy personnel' to fight a secret war of counter-intelligence with the enemy.

maybe a cloak-and-dagger foreign minister too... but great compromiser is also very good.. i think.
BTW what is the personality of Molotov?

Waren't they called Litvinov and Yagoda?

Anyway, seems SU ministers are quite nice. Although i stand by my statement about need for Laissez-Faire capitalist in place of Kaganovich. Is such replacement available?:D
