Vote tally - Against the Tide - Germany 1932.

[X] Do a full audit of the camp, and your staff. You won't get much done medically, but you need to replace losses, and figure out who has died. Your doctors still here can hopefully handle the constant intake of casualties.
-
-
[X] Sleep. Even after unwinding last night you are still desperately short on sleep. You are being worn down, badly. And a blunted tool is no use to anyone.
-
-
[X] Lightening offensive. Your friend Franz very vocally tells you that his men are mostly unscathed by the fighting, and with flame throwers, grenades, and converted armored cars, he is confident that he can smash a hole in the fascist line, and reach the main Reichswehr barracks. It's a risky proposition, but how strong fortifications can the fascists really setup in a day? And bringing the Weltkreig veterans of the Reichswehr under direct control would be a huge boon.

-
[X] A fighting retreat to the city center, draw the SA forwards and let them take ground, but for every meter make them pay in blood in the form of ambushes, booby-traps, or even just barricades to slow them down.
-
-
[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] 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.

-
[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] Straighten the lines and dig in. You are in absolutely no mood to cede ground to the Nazis, given the rumors of that they do in the areas they occupy. However, even you recognize the necessity of pulling back the most exposed units lest they are cut off. At any rate, the Nazis are on the offensive now. Offensives against fortified positions were always when your station was the fullest during the war, and perhaps a little vindictively, you see no reason why the SA shouldn't learn this lesson too.

-[X] Preferred tactics should make maximum use of our defensive positions (fortifications and barricades), superior training and local knowledge (traps and ambushes), and our heavy mobile forces (rapid reinforcement for flagging sectors, opportunistic counterattacks). Also rotate fresh forces from the Marienplatz for exhausted frontline units as necessary and feasible.

[x] Take care of Kathe. She looks after you as much as she is able, it's sometimes easy to forget she is just as affected by all this as you are. You will repay her kindness with interest.
