The northern pocket expanded even more to the east.
The Nationalists getting dangerously close to Barcelona and Tarragona were cut off from their supplies.
The thrust by the Republicans towards Portugal, was also cut off, it is only one province though, let's hope there aren't too many men in there.
There has been little movement in the south.

- Tsarists: 9 (+1)
- NTS: 0 (-6)
- POA: 8 (+2)
The NTS, a fascist party with no organisation just vanished from the popularity charts, maybe Italian spies stopped supporting it... Sadly the profit from this collapse went to the Tsarist faction, the National-Socialist faction (POA), and the Social Conservative faction (Octobrists). Now we have a fractured government again, because of the increased popularity of these 'Octobrists'. Our spies have started increasing ruling party organisation again, from it's already very high level, in hopes of countering this threat.
Party Organisation:
- Communist Party: 43,50 (+0,06)
- Trotskyite: 17,00 (-0,1)
- Bukharinite: 12,00 (-0,1)
- Octobrist: 12,50 (-0,1)
- Trudoviks: 9,10 (-0,1)
- Social-Revolutionary: 2,00 (-0,1)
- Kadets: 0,0 =
- Tsarists: 3,30 (-0.14)
- NTS: 0,0 =
- POA: 0,0 =
How this happens is unclear but I keep winning the Party Organisation battle by a landslide, only to lose, or narrowly win, the Popularity battle. Back to another month of 'fractured government' sic... Maybe spies messing with my political landscape again?
This Information is accurate on the morning of the 1st of October 1937, I hope it serves you well in fine-tuning your possible suggestions.
