Any chance of setting up delaying measures in Poland and elsewhere (traps, barricades, mines)? When it comes to fighting our enimies, it's General Winter more than any other that stops them in their tracks. So ever measure of delay works to our advantage.
 
Okay, so looking at the differences between the plans:

Infrastructure:
Plan Total War Preparations: 5 Dice Roads (Average 418 Progress), 3 Dice Relocation (57% chance)
Plan Crash Militarization: 4 Dice Road (Average 348 Progress), 4 Dice Relocation (92% chance)

Heavy Industry:
Plan Total War Preparations: 2 Dice Mine Expansion (Average 217 Progress), 2 Dice Plant Modernization (82% Chance)
Plan Crash Militarization: 3 Dice Mine Expansion (Average 287 Progress), 1 Dice Plant Modernization (20% Chance)

Services:
Plan Total War Preparations: 1 Dice School Resources (20% chance)
Plan Crash Militarization: 2 Dice School Resources (82% chance)

Personally, I prefer putting 4 dice on Relocation, since having our production faaaar from the front ASAP is kind of critical, and I prefer 2 dice on plant modernization since precision manufacturing is kind of important. I'm happy to drain a dice away from road and mine expansion to fuel this, since neither of those projects will realistically finish this turn with either quantity of dice allocated. Plant Modernization is 15 Resources more expensive than Mining, which is only partially made up for by Relocation being 5 cheaper than Roads, but in the end I can still afford everything.

As such, here's my suggestion - it's exactly plan Total War, except that I trade a dice of road progress for a far better chance (+35%) of completing Industrial Relocation this turn.

Can't French contribute? Their navy should be still there and mostly combat capable.

Not really. I think the French navy is a paper tiger without their logistics depots and maintenance yards in southern France. I'm not sure what their colonial logistics and maintenance capacity is but it's surely lower than metropolitan France.

To run the gauntlet of the med now means exposing both the RN and the French navy to German attacks from Spain..a very bad idea usually.

Yeah, better to make sure the Relocation effort finishes as soon as possible.
 
At the very least, the Marine Nationale might be able to send a good number of its ships to the Indian Ocean or Singapore, to make stronger ADBA(now with an F) force.
I guess Malta will be even more important than it was irl, and

I guess I'm alright with guaranteeing Relocation over maximizing road progress. But I definitely want us to keep 2 dice on the Ordzhonikidze Plant. That gives us resources, which we'll need to keep our Gorky-boosted projects going.
