So should I start my front thread and Ill post the reports there then? (sorry for doing it here now)

[Rasputin]

yes apparently it is the etiquite

[Rasputin]

so where we upto, whos turn we wating on ?? and how long we waiting for ?

[PinkyGen]

First of all, post this, since it answers Rasputin's question as well.

COS part I (El Awrence) - DONE
Northern Front: (Stalin II) - DONE
Home Front: (Azazel- POTUS acting) - DONE
South East (POTUS) - DONE
Sinai Front: (Rasputin) - DONE
Immigration (Conmcb25?) -
Defense (Conmcb25) -
Econ - (Arthedain) -
COS part II (El Awrence) -

We are waiting on the ministers now, and if the equipment is bought this round, I expect it to be used, either by front commanders or by the COS!!!!!

Also, Stalin, thanks for the report, and congrats on the T-34 kill. I'm interested to load the save and see what you did. Report is somewhat acceptable here, but I'm encouraging all front commanders to create their own threads and report their as well.

[Dr. Nick]

Front commanders MUST HAVE THEIR OWN THREAD. DAMNIT DOES NO ONE READ MY GOVERNMENT DIRECTIVES?!

[Nilat]

i just meant should I start a new one or just use Yaros old one!

Ill just make a new one

[Rasputin]

thanks pinky for the update..

[Dr. Nick]

ALL COMMANDERS, MINISTERS READ

COS MIDTURN REPORT: June 1948

NORTH FRONT

• Metullah has no City Defences. This must be rectified, the sooner the better.
• I feel that a general rushbuy of defensive units along the entire front wouldn't harm anyone. May I suggest reinforcing with palmachs, since they looks quite versatile, decent attack, good defence, plenty of moves.
• Nahariyyah is our Achilles heel here. We need City Defences and some heavy ground defense units.

NOTE: I think that we can expect the Lebanese to use the Mediterranean road for all their incursions. I would like to ask the Northern Front commander to consider what he will be doing along that road. There are forts, hills and a road that runs along the sea, I'd like to hear some input. I personally favour either taking the hills and holding at the forts OR going naval defense, and basically keeping two or three destroyers on hand to eliminate any potential Lebanese advances along that road, which will free up quite a few land units. I'd already destroyed a handful of units last turn, we need to take that road very seriously.

HOME FRONT

• Change production in Beth Shean, I'd suggest getting AA, but not necessary to rushbuy there, I think.
• PLEASE rushbuy Gesher and Degania defensive units so that we may build city defenses quickly.
• Coastal cities, I'd like to see cranking out defensive units to reinforce the north front, as well as artillery to go on the offensive. Hopefully a balance can be struck for both. Maybe one will build a destroyer depending on the kind of input I get from my North Front Commander.

NOTE: I am really banking on the possibility of this front going on the offensive over the next six months and seizing Nazareth and Jenin relatively unopposed.

JUDEAN FRONT

• Sedom and Kfar Etzion... they are understaffed and exposed. I want to crack open the doors of East Jerusalem so that I can send reinforcements there. Don't rushbuy anything in either city yet, I fear they may fall and our resources would be better used planning a counteroffensive, rather than a desperate defence. I would like input from our commander on this, what additional forces would he like to crack open East Jerusalem?

SINAI FRONT

• Ashdod needs City Defences. As a note, I'd like to see some of those roads south of Ashdod pillaged. Additionally, I think that a few ships might keep the Egyptians at bay along the Mediterranean. Input from commander, please.
• Gevaram needs defenses. Or else, we must abandon it (I suggest rushing a Zion Worker, I refuse to leave those civilians to the Arabs )
• Central cities look alright. I don't think we need to rush any defensive anything here, just consolidate the defenses we have there.
• I'd like some input on Eilat from our commander in the front.

[Rasputin]

posted my responses i nother thread

[PinkyGen]

Play can now resume, so I expect the respective ministers to post their turn.

[Arthedain]

Roger that! Awaiting Conmcb25..
