The IC and Infra for supplies would be a good flavor event, not incredibly useful (how many battles will be fought in Alaska in this period ;)), but interesting nonetheless.

As for ministers for Debs and LaFollette, I'll do some research on that.

For now, at least, can we use 'shadow government' ministers, a la HoI?

Steele
 
Ok... This isn't a comprehensive list, and I had to make some assumptions, but...

Eugene V. Debs' ministers:
Foreign: Emil Seiden
Armaments: Daniel DeLeon
Security: Fred Warren
Intelligence: Abraham Cahan
Chief of Staff: William Haywood

Chief's of service: For these we should either use whoever held the post before, or use Shadow Government ministers without real names, or pick a top-ranking general at random.

Robert LaFollette's ministers
Foreign: Burton Wheeler
Armaments: Samuel Gompers
Security: Victor Berger
Intelligence: Edward Scripp
Chiels of Staff and services: Same as for Debs, above.

Steele
 
Thanks very much.

Like in the standard HOI, the Security Minister is the head of the FBI. I found the heads of the services, so there isn't any concern in that respect.

I don't think that the 'no change' option should be removed, as this would discount the possibility that a president would want to stay on for years and years, like FDR would go on to do.
 
Perhaps you could replace 'no change' with the previos president. Although, I suppose that would require extra events for the later elections...

On the other hand, the two term precedent was very respected. FDR was the sole 'violator' of this precedent, but it wasn't impossible, just unlikely. FDR was just a popular guy.

Nevermind, leave it in, just have it as the last (third, or fourth) option.

EDIT: I was under the impression that the Minister of Security was the Attorney General... I suppose it doesn't really matter.

IIRC unlike WWII most of the shipping used to carry US soldiers over to France were British ships. So would it be appropriate, since the game mechanics do not allow you to transport allies on your Transport Units, to have an event that gives the US say 5 transports (similiar to the C.O.R.E. event that gives GB destroyers)?

Yes I think so - at the cost of some British supplies though. :)

That wouldn't be a bad idea. But by mid 1918, there were thousands of Liberty Ships as well.

Maybe another event which gives the US 5 more transports at a cost of another 200 supplies a little later.

I'm not sure if '2' is the only province that ought to be affected by this. And I need another event ID. What system are we using?

Looks good but in the description I think that should be men not mem.

But that would diminish the contributions of all the American mem who sufffered in the trenches. ;)
