Turn 10, Funeral Commission through Parade

Turn 11, Cure through Health due 3/20, Tuesday

Funeral Commission

Acting Foreign Minister Satin nominates Mischif as Party Chief, and the vote is unanimous in favor.

Replacement Phase

Since Mischif is in the Sanatorium, Satin rises to KGB Head and Putschnik to Foreign Minister by age, and Turi Nikotin rises from Candidate to Defense Minister by age. Putschnik promotes M to Candidate, and ages to 63. Sergei Eatstumuch becomes Ideology Chief, Iwan Majak becomes Industry Minister, Wassily Protzky becomes Economy Minister, and Natasha Nogoodnik becomes Sport Minister by age. X becomes a Candidate by age. Finlandia declares 7 IP on Manjak, 7 IP on Nikotin, and 3 IP on Putschnik. KMFC declares 8 IP on Nikotin. Card 22 (Provda Speaks Out) is no longer in effect and is discarded.

Rehabilitation Phase

Nikotin rehabilitates Z, aging to 69.

Parade Phase

The Party Chief is in the Sanatorium and therefore does not wave.

Notes

Since no faction has the necessary three waves, per the rules, this goes to an 11th turn. Whoever controls the Party Chief after the Funeral Commission phase will win. To that end, since Brad Martin has NMRed, will Andy York please standby for Zapadniye Front! Thanks to Dave Partridge for his unused standby orders.
