[X] Plan: Winter is Coming V2
-[X] Organize the Combined Staff: Butler is unquestionably the chief commander of all soldiers fighting for freedom and liberty, but the staff and upper leadership have been greatly expanded by the integration of two new armies and their top generals. Making sure there are minimal teething issues and conflicts will greatly improve the efficacy of all the army's (and those of the air force and the navy)
-[X] Prepare partisan commands: We will lose territory to the federalists. That has been made clear by Chief Revolutionary Commander Butler, in a speech some have called defeatist. However, he has also made it clear that just because they have gained territory, he does not intend to make it easy for them to hold it, and that he trusts the workers and farmers of the nation will assist in him that. To that end, Butler is working to prepare underground cells in vulnerable territories to wreak havoc upon capitalist occupiers.
-[X] Prepare for winter: This winter is a bitter one. It is a winter of bloody conflict and refugee hordes. And it is also a winter of terrible storms, and it is only November. Food, shelter, fuel, and hope are in short supply. Those vital substances must be stockpiled and gathered, and measures taken to keep spirits high and bodies functioning. Ben Stevens and various local party cadres are working to minimize the hardships of the coming months, although their efforts may well be a snowball against an avalanche.
-[X] Integrate new trainers: With experienced soldiers from the Unity Army and Olson's Boys coming into the nexus of training camps in Michigan, the number of militiamen and fresh volunteers who can be trained to a more professional standard has greatly increased, but care must be taken to ensure these less-than-revolutionary trainers do not struggle with inoculating respect for the democratic nature of soldier's councils or teaching their trainees the nature of class warfare.
-[X] Expand equipment stockpiles: Bluntly, the military can never have enough guns, enough howitzers, enough shells, enough bullets. Even if there were a hundred rifles for every soldier, Butler would still want more. But there are not a hundred rifles for every soldier, although there are relatively few dire shortages. Still, preparations must be made for the inevitable losses of combat.
-[X] Improve backline logistics: While access to weaponry and ammunition is important, there are other important concerns that must be dealt with. The transport of massive quantities of food, uniforms, and other vital sundries must be prepared and organized, something Butler and his staff are working on. It is also a concern of the Economic Planning Commission.
-[X] Maintain medicinal supplies: With quarantines established, those who are sick must be cured too. What antibiotics that can be produced will be distributed, doctors and nurses press ganged, whatever that can be done will be done to keep the sick alive, at any cost except for the revolution.

-[X] (De-Emphasize) Call for peace: We do not desire war. We do not want to kill so many sons and daughters of the working class, whether through bullets or blockades. We merely wish to see the will of the people expressed in a democratic fashion. The moral high ground is an advantage we must do our best to keep by emphasizing our desire for peace even as we prepare for war, a task the Propaganda Committee is working hard to accomplish.
-[X] (De-emphasize) Expand luxury production: Another part of your promises and a way to weaken the influence of the black market both, further attention can be devoted to the production of various luxuries such as perfume and musical instruments for civilian use. As per previous agreements, most of these enterprises are market-based, making their expansion rather controversial.
-[X] (De-emphasize) Examine What's Been Done: The chaos of the November Crisis has led to many individuals leading a variety of revolutionary initiatives, from the bands of artists using the rubble of Wall Street to make sculptures to the college professors transforming life on their campuses. The revolution is being led from below, to the resounding approval of all in the CAS. But it would be wise to investigate some of what has already been done.
-[X] (De-emphasize) Put refugees to use: Part of resolving that problem is getting refugees back to something more like ordinary life. Wherever there are gaps in our production lines, they can fill in to help keep the factories running. It will empty the camps, give them a sense of normalcy and something to occupy their time, and help keep the economy running. For those refugees who are simply capitalists fleeing gunfire, or their supporters, it can also give them a route for becoming good socialist workers.
[X] [DEC] Write a declaration.
-[X] Make sure that the declaration is also issued by Long and Olson to present the revolution as a united front (even if that means the rhetoric may need to be toned down a bit.)
[X] [SYND] We do not wish to appear as foreign puppets. A moderate intervention would be ideal.
- [X] Try to get the Commune of France and the Union of Britain to issue declarations that if any other foreign power intervenes in the civil war (i.e. Canada) they will take it as carte blanche to intervene in full support of the CAS
[X] [BLACK] Track it. The presence of organized crime is concerning, but nothing else about it is really important. Have Schenck keep an eye on it, but other than that leave it alone.
[X] [PLANE] It seems a fair deal.
