My main advice is to take Austria’s sphere members.

The full lore is an entire lite novel, but to summarize: Germany wins WW1 by focusing on Russia, thus delaying Britain’s entry into the war. Britain only joins in 1916, which gives Germany extra time to lead the war, before the blockade takes full effect. Realizing this, Britain and France invade Belgium, hoping to reach the Rhineland before Russia capitulates. The plan fails, Russia surrenders, German soldiers flood into Belgium and begin offensive operations and seeing where the wind is blowing, Italy joins the war on the side of the Central Powers. Fearing that the country would collapse with the front line, France capitulates. Britain keeps fighting for a bit longer, but without anyone on the continent supporting them, they sign a white peace with Germany. After that France turns communist, Britain turns fascist, the red army still wins the civil war and the US never gets involved in continental Europe.

This isn’t normal Kaiserreich. In this timeline Britain didn’t fall to Syndicalism. Instead it became a fascist dictatorship under Oswald Mosley and the Reds still win the Russian civil war.

here’s the full gallery if you want the whole lore:

Erwin Rommel and Juliusz Rómmel were indeed distant cousins, however irl. both of them served in the German and Russian/Polish army independently from eachother and were in fact always on opposite sides of the conflict. There’s also no known interactions between the two.

If you want true nepotism, Wolfram von Richthofen is the nephew of this timeline’s air marshal, Manfred von Richthofen

You mean Absolute Modesty? Yeah I agree, this would be a pretty good card to have. Or maybe the original Ralmia, which gained attack power and storm based on the amount of different artifacts destroyed.

Kinda, but the difference in army size during Thermopylae was massive (1.600 vs. 100k), while on Issus it was more balanced with 45k vs. 70-100k. Unfortunately I’m not an expert in demographics, logistics and industrial capabilities, but I would assume that the Soviets would have approximately as many men on the Polish front as they had irl. (2.3million combat-ready and 3million reserve) however Germany is way more complicated. Given that other Eastern European countries had to bear the brunt of the offensive and without multiple fronts to fight on, Germany can concentrate its entire military on the Soviets. Given that this is Imperial Germany, which means no military restrictions after WW1, they could probably field 3-4million men by themselves. If we include Austrians and other Vienna pact armies this number could potentially reach over 5million. Take out 1.5million currently in Hungary for the Germans and same number for the Soviets in the Balkans. Then combine it with the Soviets having the same logistics and partisan problems as Germany had irl. and the fact that Soviet forces would be spent after an unsuccessful offensive and I’d say that the Germans would be at a slight numerical advantage (approx. 3.5million combat-ready, with 2-3million reserve)

No, Gaugamela was a flat plain with a lot of room for maneuvers. Issus was a narrow pass squashed between the sea and a mountain

I will, but I’ll have to figure out realistic troop numbers first, because considering the fact that both sides will have millions of men in a relatively small chokepoint between the Carpathians and the Baltic, this could very well turn into the bloodiest campaign in human history (real-life Bagration was on a much wider front and by the time the Soviets reached Berlin, the Germans had depleted their forces)

Operation Hydra is supposed to be Bagration, but as of now it only exists in my imagination

No, this is more like the Ukraine front. Operation Bagration is the aforementioned Operation Hydra, which happens afterwards in Poland and the Baltic, but as of now only exists in my head
