You can only use historical Plan Z designs (including never built). You have to invade Poland in 1939 You have to invade France in 1940 You have to Barbarosa in summer 1941 Win condition Sealion and cap UK by 9th of May 1943. (You can sealion only if you have more capitals and screens than UK.) Lose conditions: Italy had fallen into civil war, You didn't cap UK by May '43. You failed Plan Z mission (if you took it early). You didn't invade Poland,France or USSR on time Mods: Vanilla Navy Rework (must) Road to 56 (if you want, but designs from focuses don't count.)

Fun fact, the flag with the Austrian and Hungarian flags combined to make Austria Hungary is not their official flag. In reality, they didn't really have one, as Austria and Hungary had very close but separate governments. The closest thing they used as their official flag was the black and yellow flag meant to represent Austria.

31:07 Not only did Fance fall before Russia, they almost fell before Belgium because that event usually pops when Belgium caps

I think the whole Kaiserjager thing is this: "The Kaiserjäger were often confused with the Tyrolean Kaiserschützen, who belonged to the k.k. Landwehr, and were part of the regular armed forces of Austria-Hungary. The confusion arose from the decree of April 1917, in which Emperor Charles I granted the title Kaiserschützen to the Tyrolean state rifles. (The state rifles, known as Landesschützen or Kaiserschützen, were mountain troops and wore a different uniform.". Otherwise, I love the historical division template videos.

Croat historian here to clatify few things Firstly, We did fight on the eastern front, but were notoriously dissobedient and inefective, as we had no will to die for lands that are not our own, which is also why we fought tooth and nail in the Alps, as losing there meant losing our lands and people in them. And two, you chose right for the fedealist reform, near the end when everything was collapsing for A-H, a federal reconstruction was proposed for the empire, but at that point the idea was abandoned by the minorities (who were actualy all for it until the end of 1917), as they seeked independant countries.

Here's a challenge that would be extremely difficult. WW2 Germany with WW1 units. Cav, infantry, and artillery with maybe a smattering of biplane type planes if those possible. Any tanks would have to be limited to a handful of heavy tanks as 'landship' infantry support

you could also do it with the historical number of divisions

Personally I believe that you should create historical tanks and planes if the preset is a-historical or not there, because that would help you delve deeper into the history of different planes tanks and such

Franz Joseph's brother was a good Naval Reformer. Edit: 10:29 The Household Cavalry are actual soldiers by the way. They do tours of duty.

I don't think you will find the Wehrmacht in WW1 Buddy...

From what I understand, it was either the Prime Minister or the head of the army who wrote up the demands to Serbia after Ferdinand's assassination knowing they could not comply. On top of a lot of other things that got the populace pissed. I genuinely think he wanted to overpower the monarchy to become a military dictator. The royal family, meanwhile, had members advocating for federalization. Giving more autonomy to the different ethnic regions of the empire. So the self-governence option near the end of the war you got would definitely have been a possible historical choice had Austria-Hungary won. Though we can't know for sure. There'd definitely be infighting amongst the elite about it.
