Shakal Imperial Palace

The Empress signed the paper before her and handed it to Derrick. He looked at her with a near smug expression.

"What now?" She asked him.

"Nothing, I just hope that this doesnt set off a chain reaction." He explained tucking the paper under his arm.

"Liar, you know you would like nothing more than for that to happen." She said to him.

Shakal-Czech Border

Shakal forces that had gathered on the border received the order to move at 6am. The two armies under Generals Bock and Rundstedt. The left under Bock would move south west from Crakow towards Bratislava and then north to Prague as the army under Rundsteadt left from Vienna and moved north east towards Prague. Each wing consisted of 40 000 men and some 300 supporting artillery. The border to the north would be guarded by some 25 000 men.

OOC:Its early spring.

I already own Serbia

I already own Serbia

OOC:She said Czechoslovakia...

Can slovakia then have Romania+Hungary then?
(In the form of a loose confederation, similar to the one in 1830-40 that was used against Napoleon and later the real Prussian empire)

If I know my geography, an invasion of an allied Romania to Czech nation would resault in a mountain slugfest n the Carpathian mountains to the south, with cavalry attempting to dominate the northern lowlands.

OR do I just assume that Czechoslovakia has just been sitting and waiting to be invaded with no alliances or connections to their friendlier nieghbors?

(It's not as if the Serbian section really added anything but mass and a few more bodies, and even though Romania most likely has more people, I'd leave the stat block as is and replace "Serbian" population with "Hungarian/Romanian" or the "Romania-Hungary Empire".

Since there is no Austria-Hungary/Ottoman Empire in NS 1850.

I'll get rid of the Serbian poopulation from stats and subtract an infantry division.
But then add Romania-Hungary as a close ally.

You may or may not know the enemy's war strategy, depending on how good your spies are (if you have any)
Contingency plan: (For Romaina-Hungary reinforcements)
Prussian invasion of Czechoslovakia:
Northern thrust through the Carpathian mountains and into Krakow, followed by a rapid advance upon Warsaw from the southwest side of the city. They would then siege the city as further troops (mostly cavalry) would attempt to rush west into Berlin and then reconsolidate forces with main Slovakian infantry assault to retake Progue.

Yep Romania-Hungary (on its own):
16,770,900
Anybody want that to NPC?
(49 million vs ~18 million, I like those odds)
