Are you referring to Hybrid Packaging development? We finished that at the start of 1961. Or is even that still in the research phase with commercial computers still using standalone transistors?

Meanwhile in the space mininistry: Glushko? Have you been doodling rockets on napkins again Glushko?
I admit I am morbidly curious seeing what sort of crazy options a roll this low on a subvote will result in. Do we go with "quick but likely to get people killed" or "practical but stupidly expensive and likely to see America beat us"?

Honestly i only voted for this because other plans neglected the ASU.
It's kind of like a reverse delenda est thing. He's been opening every conversation like that for a couple years now, so people are letting their guard down.

Because to finish museums it takes a minimum of 2 dice.

The Ministry funding fancy new museums in important districts, been on the docket for a while and cultural enrichment I am guessing.
Coming on top of previous poor rolls this is worrying.
Darnit. The two dice @Crazycryodude put on determining alignments was one of the things I liked about his plans but I forgot to check what the buffalo plan was doing.
Oh dear.
Oh DEAR.
The two most important things we needed to do in space and... Not great rolls.
At least the interplanetary bus and the weather satellites will be doing well, I guess.
Glushko decides the RLA-10 is a hill worth dying on and diverts funding from more useful projects to build the rocket?
But at least we didn't get a 1 on the roll and end up with a EDS powered by FOOF and trihydridoboron.

I originally had 2 dice but getting the coal power plant a focus was more important since rolling blackouts/brownouts are really bad. (And indeed, without the focus we would've needed to spend an omake on it, likely meaning that some other project wouldn't have the omake needed to complete- after this turn I think we're out of omakes if we finish all 3 possible projects)

If low dice = right wing, than South East Asia just had something rather bad happen. Hope the French didn't just back a reactionary coup in vietnam. Otherwise no big news, though Italy is sliding far out of our grasp.

Roads losing the coinflip is a little disappointing, but water overperformed and ASU really knocked it out of the park. Pretty solid turn. We're going to need the canal and hydrological stabilization next turn but there should actually be room in the dice pool for them. Especially since ASU can get by on a single die after this performance, leaving plenty to start other projects.
Wow, coal plants cut it really close, good call on the focus in hindsight. We're just barely keeping our head above water with steel, no time to rest on the next steel mill, but at least nothing is crashing either. Probably going to need another round of coal plants next year if we want to continue building up the non-ferrous MMKs, but power is relatively safe for 1964 and early 1965 at least.
Oh god no, what's Glushko done with our Moon program? The Luna expansion being meh isn't encouraging either, we may be in a spot of trouble with the moonshot. At least the interplanetary probe booster and the weather satellites are off to a good start! The weather satellites in particular are at least something with direct economic applications we can point to.
I think the refinery is getting omake completed, thank Lenin, would have been really annoying to complete both oil fields but not the refinery. IC's and plastics both killing it, that's gonna be real nice on the budget next turn, and can't really complain about core feedstocks failing a 36% chance when every other action in the sector completed.
Big oofs down here, however. We're definitely not making out Agriculture target this FYP. Omake completing Agricultural Intensification will stem the bleeding a little bit at least, but Rural Zone Assessment failing is particularly rough. At least it will be done next turn and still factor into the new FYP cycle, but it would have been nice to just finish that already. Might need to put another few Free Dice into Ag next turn just to continue pressure on the wound...
Pretty good turn again down here. Not much to comment on, at least we've moved on to the next stage of fixing the garbage issue.
Hell yeah, low work hours and educational reform both rolled well, those were both absolutely critical. We missed the opportunity to campaign directly and Voz is once again flying blind in politics. But we've been through worse, and turns out we needed the focus on coal plants.
Overall really good turn! Unemployment is nearly zero, energy is plentiful, politics looks promising, the Boomers really are coming of age in a golden era. Just a shame that the moonshot rolled so poorly, especially after so much discussion went into it. Guess we'll see what the subvote looks like...
