Against the Tide - Germany 1932.

[X] Disperse the doctors. It is very clear that you will need to send doctors to the front lines. Or, just behind them. It would be doubly good to have some first responders near the Luitpoldkaserne for when the soldiers who will try and break the siege smash through. You will begin to decentralise medical care through the front. This will reduce the effectiveness of your staff at city hall, but reduce front line deaths.

[X] Spend time with Kathe. You haven't even really seen your wife in two days. You miss her, and with everything going on….maybe a few hours alone with her would be good. At least, it would be a handful of hours where you could sleep. Kathe will help calm you. She is good for your soul.

[X] Speak with the people. You need to meet with the people, even if it hurts due to your constant failures being escorted out draped in a flag. You might be able to recruit any doctors, or nurses, or medics, and might even get some additional supplies. The people will meet their angel. You might be able to gather more supplies, staff, or both.

We absolutely need to make sure our lines don't collapse from attrition.

We keep neglecting our wife and our personal mental health. I am not sure being so stressed will be good in the long-run, especially given that he could easily go into a WW1 depression from seeing all of the dead and amputated.

Hard to choose this over touring, but I decided that, in the end, there is no point organizing front-line hospitals if we have no equipment, medicine, and staff to properly supply and run them.

[X] Tour the frontline. Apparently the crown prince is planning on heading along the front, especially meeting the Franz's 'Sturmbataillon'. You could double check with the medics on the front, (and ensure your doctors are keeping pace with them). You will ensure the Reichswehr and Volksbanner medic teams are capable. Hopefully, you can organise field hospitals closer to the front lines to ensure people don't die before reaching you.

Experience: 2. Damn it, you are a doctor, not a politician! The most experience you had with leadership was when you promoted to Oberst after the last one blew his brains out during the war. Poor bastard. (Struggle to co-ordinate campaigns. You are weak on matters requiring political experience)

As time goes on and our character is involved in more things, is it possible to make this naturally rise without need for a new trait?

"I don't give a damned about your childish plans, Franz. This is a mess your pet created. Fix it. Before I fix it." Hindenburg started to feel light headed from the heavy, serious tone in his voice, but hid it well, both men were badly taken aback by the thorough telling off. Paul Von Hindenburg sank back into his seat, a coughing fit descending on him, he raised a handkerchief to his lips, coveirng th blood that came up with the phlegm, he looked up to his two inner circle members, glowering at them. "Go. You have three days. If this crisis is not over, I will order the Reichswehr to mobilise." He grinned as both men scurried off to try and see if they could get Hitler to see reason before the Reichswehr rolled over the NSDAP in Munich.

FYI, Karvoka quests are rife with hidden mechanics. Like stress levels. Don't dismiss spending time with Kathe so easily. It's not just IC stuff, it's actively helpful. Especially because, well, Hugo needs a break.

Hey, Hugo has slept at least four hours in the passed two days. That's plenty of sleep to perform risky, complicated surgery with rapidly dulling instruments, insufficient bandages or drugs, a total lack of sterilising alcohol, while the person is writhing in pain, being held down by two, equally exhausted individuals.

Plenty of time.

So, just before sleep takes me, what did people like/dislike about this update. Be as specific as you like!

Also, there will probably be an omake focused on outside Munich, or possibly focused elsewhere in munich, as a reaction to events.

Personally, I liked how you wrote the combat in the first part of the update. It really livened things up and gave the situation a sense of urgency, making it so that we would prioritize the front lines and show how important of a position they are, seeing as we wouldn't normally be able to see their perspective. If you had just told us the barracks would fall in a couple of days, I doubt it would have been effective.

I also enjoyed the differing perspectives where you switched between multiple POV's to show how everyone had their own motivations, even the Nazi's. Though I think it might be better next time if you wrote about more characters we know like Franz.

The only part where I think you could have done better would have been the bit where the Crown Prince was touring with the injured soldiers. I didn't really get why they were so inspired by him, at least until he mentioned the pensions for everyone. Perhaps you could have showed us more moments of him interacting with the dying and injured soldiers rather than telling us of it, so that we could get a better understanding of why so many people support the Crown Prince aside from his position and power.

I would love to see a reaction update, especially if it includes reactions to the changes we have made. I am hopeful that President Hindenberg does send it the troops because that would be suitably epic.
