What changes to the infantry do you mean? You are controlling millions of soldiers so the mechanics do not actually carry over - if you get a catachan regiment they'll have traits to represent them for their speciality, but they will be oriented on the lore instead of the rules.
Same with the orders - you are not going to tell your soldiers to affix bayonets, the officers multiple levels down will do it and get abstracted away, so the orders can be used as flavour for a ground-level view but they won't matter in the quest.
Tabletop rules usually don't influence stuff in the quest, mostly because I don't play it. So the Rogal Dorn exists as one of the many variants of equipment produced by the forgeworlds, but it won't matter wether they are op or useless, I will treat them as viable tanks in universe(bad designs exist, but they don't make it into the guard codex). The lore of the tabletop matters, but not the mechanics.
The Lord Solar is not going to lead conventional soldiers or issue orders in-quest either

The fact that conscripts are no longer a thing, veterans only exist in command squads, special weapons squads and several specialist squads (crusaders, wyrdvane psykers) no longer exist, catachans, kriegers and cadian have their own unique infantry squads distinct from regular ones and from each other, lord comissars no longer exist.... the list can go on and that's just from previews.
Sorry. That bloody thing really put a dump on my enthusiasm for the guard.

So here is a plan I drafted, I'm raising troops and going after the tanks that are now sitting in the underhive.
I'm opening contact with the other factions so we get a more holistic view of what is going on.
I'm picking the defense option for the Cathedral.
Let the arbiters investigate the parade sabotage.
Double check the troops assigned to the arbiters for any shenanigans.

You really don't have to worry about me cutting out stuff
I love the diversity of the Guard and as a quest this is not bound to any limits of balance or profitability. All special stuff and vastly more undescribed stuff exists in the vast organisation of the Guard. Catachan, Krieger's and cadians are distinct from each other but not from regular troops, because regular troops don't exist - each regiment is it's own unique unit.
Warhammer is a setting where practicality often takes a backseat and I am continuing this practice. Orbital Bombardement can't win the ground war, the administratum manages to supply you somehow through the warp and a regiment with 10 different special guns will be awesome because of it instead of a logistical nightmare.
You have seen some examples already: The commissariat representatives were both female Lord Commissars, the recruits for the military arbiter recruitment action are whiteshields born to your guard units and the 250th has a trait for being especially Veteran(Veteran on command squad only sounds silly lol)

Youll have to request them directly or a regiment containing them when you have the chance to get reinforcement from your superiors.
Youll get the ability to do that once you are able to leave Nostrega, because you are deliberatily not contacting your superiors because your ascension to Major General wasnt exactly how the succession was supposed to go and you need to show results to keep your position(and losing your position as General in the Imperial Guard General Quest is not allowed )

Does anyone know if there is a way to merge full plan votes and the votes for just a plan name?
The tally does it automatically if people put the word 'plan' at the start of their plan names. Otherwise you can use the manage votes button to manually add them

Raise additional Nostrega Primus PDF Ⅱ Supply use
The exploits of the 1st nostregan Infantry has been propagandised far across Nostrega Primus and when you started to work with Brigadier General Passero on expanding the Planetary Defense Force, the population was ecstatic about joining your newly created training programs and you managed to fill your manpower targets without any conscription.
Veterans from the 1st Nostregan and the 250th Pfadian were rotated out of active duty to help train the new recruits and a core of experienced officers were transferred to the newly created division, ensuring loyalty and competence. The 2nd Nostregan PDF Regiment will be able to train to a satisfactory level without any additional effort required and you even managed to start the recruiting and training of the 3rd Nostregan PDF to make sure your next effort to recruit PDF will go smoothly.
The 2nd Nostregan PDF regiment will be ready for deployment at the end of the next turn. You have made substantial progress towards raising the 3rd Nostregan PDF regiment.
Get information about the supply situation
You have gathered representatives from the Adeptus Munitorum, Mechanicus, Administratum and your own quartermasters and supply corps to get information about your current supply situation. While it is nearly impossible to get truly accurate information about resource usage and supply in a war zone supplied through the warp, they have created a system that roughly calculates both of your income and the expenses you may incur. It has shown you that nearly your entire supply gets shipped to you from out of system and some agreements to source materials from local producers would be an easy way to increase your current budget.
Supply is your hard resource. It is an abstraction of all materials that can be semi regularly procured in the Imperium and will be used for all projects that require physical materials. Many actions will consume some of your Supply to pay for any material that gets used, whether that is rockcrete for a fortification or paying restitution for a city you destroyed. Of course, you can always dodge out of the payment if you manage to find another organisation that can pay the cost, whether that is through favours or a good argument.
Currently, the vast majority of your supply income consists of a maintenance stipend for the Army Group sent by the Adeptus Munitorum, with a small income from planet side agreements. Your current feedback mechanism and the dangers of this galaxy prevent a truly accurate supply accounting. Instead, you will recieve an estimation using High Gothic numerals using an exponential scale where each level represents twice as many supplies as the previous one. A + represents roughly the halfway point to the next level.

Konopka
Open up contact with Nostrega I PDF(2x)
The Planetary Defense Force of Nostrega I is nearly nonexistent. The organisation was already significantly weakened from decades of neglect caused by noble infighting and defection and casualties during the rebellion has wiped out any combat capable units. Until Col. Konopka's inquiries the remeaning High command and officers of the PDF had been used by Count Fallaci as his supporters during his attempt to secure the planetary governorship instead of fighting against the rebels.
While this weakness is an unfortunate roadblock in your efforts to create a strong PDF, it is also an opportunity to shape it according to your political wants.
[] [PDF] Keep current Leadership - While the current leadership devastatingly lost the war for Nostrega I before the arrival of the Imperial Guard, they are still officers with some amount of training and keeping them in office is the most uncontroversial option. +1 Fallaci favour, existing officers will make the creation of the first PDF regiment easier
[] [PDF] Councilors proposal - A proposal from the Council proponents would allow the nostregan nobility to sponsor PDF regiments, lowering the cost in Supply and time required to create the regiments and ensuring buy-in from the various noble houses +2 Council proponents favour, regiments will cost nobility favour but time and supply cost for each regiment will be reduced and regiments will be loyal to noble houses instead of the planetary governor
[] [PDF] Reformer proposal - The Reformers have proposed a significant reworking of the nostregan PDF, decoupling its leadership and payments from any nobility involvement and centralising its leadership and upkeep under a newly created Ministry of War. +1 Reformer favour, the nobility will not be involved in the new PDF, forcing you to shoulder all costs yourselves
[] [PDF] Passero's supporters proposal - A drastic change in the current political situation some nobles have suggested to merge the PDF of Nostrega I and Nostrega Prime, improving the defense of the system and lowering costs from duplicate efforts. +2 Passero's supporters favour, merge all duplicate actions concerning the PDF of both planets This is a very controversial option, spend 1 favour to convince a nobility faction to support you and reach 51%+ support to be able to take this, Passero's supporters will support you without a favour
Musil
Initiative: Ecclisiarchal House cleaning
Col. Musil and his troops have attacked all disloyal preachers with renewed vigour, cleansing Nostrega I from all heretic agitators. All priests now preach only the officially accepted gospel, denouncing all rebels and calling for proper obedience to your superiors.
Yet the planet is still not completely purified. A collection of the most fanatic rebel priests had created a cell during the rebellion, denouncing the cardinal as a traitor to the emperor and calling for all faithful to rise up and depose the current rulership and install a sufficiently pious government instead. Lead by Preacher Zampini this organisation has continued to hide after their military defeat, rousing the rabble to further acts of resistance.
In a lucky turn of event one of the captured heretics knew the location of preacher Zampini and his base of operations, a small cathedral located in Hive Gamma. While she expired before the interrogators could glimpse any further information subsequent investigation by ecclisiarchal agents have confirmed her confession. This is a great opportunity in our efforts to root out the resistance.
Lead VANDIRE has been uncovered
Create fortified hard points Ⅲ+ Supply Use
Col. Musil has made good progress on his efforts to create defensible bases for your troops. Working together with local experts and veterans, he has found the most suitable locations and evicted all current inhabitants. The Enginseers have made sure to check the construction for any boltholes and secret passages before starting to convert the outer areas into defensible locations modeled after the Precinct-Fortresses of the Arbiters.
Musil expects that it will take 2 additional turns until the fortifications are finished, as is is very important that everything is built right the first time to prevent enemy sabotage.
Arbiter-Marshal Tamazi
[Initiative] Manpower for arbiters(35th Davrian Rough Riders regiment) Ⅰ Supply Use
More Manpower for Arbiters (27th Davrian Rough Riders) Ⅰ Supply Use
The sight of mounted patrols of Davrian Rough Riders has started to become a common occurrence on the planet. Lead by an experienced arbiter, they fulfill many supporting activities, cutting down riots and arresting criminals. This cooperation has halted the descent of the planet into instability and even allowed the arbiters to start combating the most egregious gangs.
But this fight is always going to be a nearly impossible struggle while rebel cells agitate against the occupying authorities, resulting in an increase of politically motivated crimes even while all other crime indicators are going down.
Commissariat
Lady Commissar Orechiel has investigated the 6th angraxian regiment to make sure Colonel Alfonix's legacy does not cause any problems. The Angraxian regiments choose their leaders through tests of skill and the great tournament to find their new colonel was in full swing when she arrived and discreetly checked the regiment for corruption. She has found evidence about Alfonix' acceptance of multiple bribes and discovered that this practice has spread to multiple of his subordinates. Through subtle implications, a few overt threats and an execution, she has ensured that a loyal and pure candidate wins the great joust to become colonel.
Mechanicus
Magos Volun has reported that their engineers have found multiple ways to improve local conditions and that they will be able to recommend new actions in the coming planning turn.
Other Factions
Imperial Navy has opened Contact
Commodore Quorr has contacted you, wishing to establish a closer relationship between the two arms of the emperor's will. As Commanding officer of all Imperial Navy assets in the system he is responsible for all of your air support capabilities, but the lack of contact between your institutions has caused great inefficient in the deployment of his planes. Beyond a simple dialogue he expressed his wish to expand ground side facilities for his planes, which would make air strikes significantly cheaper to execute.
He has requested your support in convincing the local nobility to grant him the land and expertise to build these airports and would like you to supply him with significant amounts of materials he cannot easily source.
[] [Navy] Agree to closer cooperation: The creation of sufficient facilities is the responsibility of the Imperial Navy and you cannot afford to spend resources of the Guard on helping them. Open contact with Imperial Navy

- I have access to exact numbers for your supplies and only convert them to the current system. Your numbers will not always add up because each level has a significant span and some modifiers are not reported to you
- There will be ways to get more accurate supply reporting in the future
- There are no plans required for this turn, though you are free to create them
[] [PDF] Passero's supporters proposal - A drastic change in the current political situation some nobles have suggested to merge the PDF of Nostrega I and Nostrega Prime, improving the defense of the system and lowering costs from duplicate efforts. +2 Passero's supporters favour, merge all duplicate actions concerning the PDF of both planets

Hm... I personally am leaning more towards the conservative options that leave things... mostly the same, to be honest. I really don't want to spend loads of political favors and supply on some support that I'm not sure we'll use often enough to justify the cost.
...You know what, I'll go with the compromise option for both.

It wasn't specified but the favours for the navy can be drawn from any faction of the nobility. If you don't specify the distribution I will split it equally between all factions except one.
