[X] Plan Power and Trucks

The Union survived without even Gorky 3, we can do a slight delay waiting for Litvinov to pilfer all the Nazi gold for all our resources are worth.

We don't want Angara local power feeding the rest of the grid. The entire point of Angara is that it's a ton of power generation in the middle of nowhere, which means it can all be put towards military industry like rubber and aluminum production.

I can accept that everyone has talked about the rest of your post and switch up free dice and extra spending to account, but I'm really gonna want much more detail on this bit. It seems wholly and utterly counter-intuitive to the situation as it stands. There is no other infrastructure in the region here and now, (even if there are plans for some) and expansion is cheaper than other power infrastructure buildout in all three of opportunity cost, cost to completion, and resources per die.

Since everything I can see in the search logs talks about people, even from posts today, wanting to hook up Angara to the grid. You're the only one I see talking about keeping it isolated.

Will it be possible to take the Expand Medical Schooling action next turn? It seems like a good winter project to take and also seems like something we would want done before war kicks off. If only to have more doctors or doctors-in-training to take care of the wounded.

The politburo consensus seems to be that the Services sector is going to be largely defunded now that we're in the final sprint to world war, schools and doctors and such are obviously great but they won't pay off in time and there's a more pressing need to spend that money on more tanks. We did the nursing schools because army hospitals need a lot of nurses and nurses train quick enough to actually see a result before the war. Doctors are the kind of thing where if we did it now the first graduating class wouldn't really be coming out until the war was already decided anyways, so it's on the back burner in favor of more tanks.

Defunded is also a sort of poor choice of word. Less that and more that we're not spending resources to expand the Service part of our economy. Blackstar did mention we're starting to slowly run out of Service options due to doggedly pursuing them.

people are way overthinking a small labor shortfall imo. Sure some longer shifts might be required, but its its not going to stop production as much as a major steel or coal shortage would.
 
To be fair, Mikoyan means we can import steel and coal to make up for a shortfall. Importing labor is a lot more difficult.

...I wonder if the Second Sino-Japanese War gives us a chance of accepting refugees. Probably not though.

The main reason we have the labor shortage is because this small ditty known as 'mobilizing six million men to the Red Army' happening at the same time as we're getting more and more factories. Secondary reason, longer shifts are a bit impossible or too much to ask — no Gastev, your opinion isn't needed, get out of the room — because we're already at a 12 hour workday shift for our workers.

's not really something to be considered as 'overthinking', is what I mean.
 
The 12 hour workday everyone's on right now is actually an 8 hour workday followed by a (mandatory but paid) 4 hour apprenticeship session tutoring newbies, rather than working the line for 12 hours straight. But yeah, the labor shortage we'll want to get a jump on next turn, just can't justify squeezing it in this turn imo.

yes no 1's and two nat 100's. (I dont know how to read the dice so I dont know if the two at the bottom there is for militray quality because if it is ... crap.

TWO NAT 100's!!!!
felt the need to velibrate since people freak out about nat 1's.
 
Welp, looks like for fighters we're gonna be relying heavily on the I-series.

Quality roll of 6.

EDIT: Well, actually it's 16 because of a +10 Quality Roll, but still. Not great.
