	Planning for absences from the USSR Full PM-box? Change here!

For the month of July, we have many that are going to be going on vacation, leaving the rest of us with the dirty work of fighting the Germans while they sit on a beach somewhere, drinking Coronas and looking at all the string bikinis.

In this thread, not only will you announce your absences, you can express your willingness to fill in for any of the General positions that do not have a substitute scheduled. Politburo members are eligible, indeed, encouraged to sub for vacationing Generals.

Generals
The Anzac (Northwest Front) : June 28th to July 16th
Substitute: PinkyGen
Yop73 (Murmansk Front) : July 11 to july 24. August 1 to august 11.
Replacement: Obiwan18
Henrik (Baltic Front) : July 11 to 22nd
Substitute:
Shaka Naldur (Resigned): Permanent
Replacement: Xenozod

Politburo
Greeny (Armaments) : June 28th to July 9th
Substitute
Xenozod (Assistant NKVD) : July 23 to 27
Substitute: (None needed probably)
EZRhino (Economic Minister) : Resigning ~ July 28th
Replacement: Assistant Economic Minister PinkyGen

The first replacement will be Xenozod, who has agreed to take command of the 1st Ukrainian Front on a permament basis. Of course, he will need to resign from the NKVD first.

Willing to take command of any front (provided a commander PM's me a description of what he's doing and what tactics he's been using), or I can stay as assistant in economics, though I have'nt been doing much there. On the other hand, my boss EZRhino in Economics also leaves some time in late July, so you may wish to edit your thread HTower.
On the other hand, this means I could temp sub for a front such as NW, Baltic, or Murmansk (though I would miss Yop's second August absence), and take over economics when the front commander comes back.
On the third hand , I'm going on vacation August 9th, and if EZRhino is leaving late July, it is only around two weeks of me in command in economics, so maybe I should just quit the number crunching all together.

Let PinkyGen sub for someone who is gone and back bfore the end of July.

Then he can take over Economics permanently when EZ Leaves and still stay employed in the mean time as a pinch hitter.

Some front time will be good, it will give the perspective of being "in the dirt" with the troops!

So go ahead and pick one for him H. Pinky any preferences?

I've already talked with the Marshall, and shall take over NW front next turn. I'll make the *official* announcement on the NW thread, incorporate some nice role-play and grandiose rhetoric.

Let me check my schedule, Ill be gone for a week in mid July for work and then off to the Northwoods for a week with the kids after 10 August.

I can do armaments right now. And it seems like everyone else is leaving 11 July!

I could do something else for two weeks after July 19th.

H, take a look at this:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showt...680#post1079680

We may need to get a sub for Yopov on the Murmansk Front right now.

If that is the case I can play for him till 11 July.

I can probably play the following week but Ill be travelling so there is no guarentees.

It shouldn't be too tough I played the turn for the Old Guy two or three times back when I was the Marshal.

Let me know your thoughts.

This may have to be a topic for thursday night!

Steve I can take over for Yop, but you'd have to show me the ropes around here. I know we work together so well...

If you need a new person for the Murmansk front, I am already filling in for the STYOM after the 11th of July in the Civ2DG and now have a home internet connection so I can download the files for the Red Front DG.

Let me know via email SPAMIAMsean_ollech@hotmail.comIAMSPAM or via PM.

H put me down for the Armaments substitute. Then you have I believe 3 choices for Murmansk Front so you need to make a decision on that so you can finish this turn.

The Marshal wishes to welcome back comrade Obiwan18 as the new commander of the Murmansk front. I'm glad you're able to play the scenario now. Don't forget to load the proper time period with the batch file. We're playing Summer 1942 right now

I can cover during that time frame. My biggest concern is the switch to winter, when food becomes a major issue. After that a check every trun should go pretty quick.

I'm going to be gone starting now until sunday afternoon, I shouldn't be needed before then, but if you guys do manage to speed through this turn, comrade General Secretary Knapovich is authorized to play for me.

Try not to get in trouble while I'm gone, Ming's going to be watching.
