what if... you just outnumber them 10 to one?
i tried that in EAW
6/0 with support AT and AA, with engineers and hospitals, and i got pushed from the changeling border to canterlot faster than germany took paris
i think it was at pace to compete with denmark capitulating it was that bad
i had enough supply, but i had such crappy divisions bc i couldn't get any manpower until 170 days before the war
and by then, i was just so advanced but couldn't field anything intime
eternal aspen
you can
but you can't field a sizable army to defend from the changelings in time
you almost always need to have a fallback line and scorched earth as they advance

would germany still invade yugoslavia? 🧐
i think they would still invade yugoslavia or subjugate it, because without italy a north african campaign would not be possible and securing the mediterranean to prevent operations against allies like bulgaria and romania are crucial. but one is left to wonder if bulgaria and romania would be pressured enough to join the axis when faced with a smaller version of it.
strategically, the balkans possessed inumerous vital resources to germany at the time, and making sure neither italy nor the allies influence it would be a high priority for germany.
