I don't want to just say no, but I would appreciate it if you would support a different faction. The Royalists are vastly overrepresented.

After all, per the alliance between the Grand Duchy and the Kaiserreich, Germany has been selling weapons to Capile for years including some of the latest weapons just before Klaus’ War broke out. For at least a decade Germany would’ve sold Capile guns, missiles, tanks, aircraft, everything except warships (The Kaiserliche Marine would not want even an allied fleet to challenge its dominance in colonial and home waters).

Could you update the OOB to indicate that my troops are helping New Decius liberate Stammburg from the Capilean Reich? I've been really busy and can't post much, but I'd like my troops mentioned in posts about the battle. You can add whatever casualties you feel appropriate, and I'll be replacing any casualties with non-elite troops arriving at Reiburg in order to stay at the 100,000 soldier limit you set.

I mean I’ve already started my carefully planned offensive. Ive got three field armies (1.2 million troops) conducting operations along the entire battle line and moving into VF territory (I keep saying VF because Germany refuses to acknowledge Nemetz’s declaration of a Reich). I don’t know where your forces would fit in unless they’d be willing to be absolutely subsumed to German command which would place the same combat restrictions on them as are on German forces. Like no heavy munitions in civilian areas, strict adherence to the Geneva Convention, and allowing my Militarpolizei to execute any of your troops who committed war crimes.
Maybe as a reserve force in the rear? Its just that I’ve really got all the troops needed to take on Stammburg, any more is just overkill. What about another area of the war?

Now though Dernen would make this offer to Krebs, Rommel does not extend it to the VF Party Gauleiter in Stammburg because he refuses to acknowledge his authority. Rommel acknowledges Krebs because he is a fellow soldier. Is Krebs likely to tell the Gauleiter that a surrender offer was made? Or will he keep silent?
When the 20th July Plot took place, many German officers knew of the plot without participating but never squealed on their fellow officers to the SS, a code of the military versus the paramilitary. Do these sort of tensions exist between the regular military leadership under Nemetz command and the VF Party Leadership?
Keep in mind that most of the men fighting for the Reich were in Capile's version of the SS (the Stoßwehr) prior to the war. By that, I mean that the Stoßwehr formations were trained to believe that they were the best forces their country could offer, prioritized for supply and upgrades, and generally treated as the elite.
There were major tensions between the Stoßwehr commanders and the Army commanders, but seeing as they're now fighting against each other, it doesn't really matter.
On the other hand, the VF's civil administration has existed for only a short while, and tensions to that degree haven't had much of a chance to develop.
In any case, I can't see this having much of an effect on things, as you aren't trying to assassinate Nemetz (not yet, at least ). The most Scherk could do would be to try and apprehend Dernen before he escapes, and Krebs would certainly be smart enough not to tell a fanatic such as him about Dernen before he had gotten away.

I'm confused. Are you planning on beginning to post again?
I will make a note to update the ORBAT.

I compliment your overarching strategy, as well, though Krebs will have a plan to counteract it.First American Empire wrote:

If anything, I'm interested in seeing how you would attempt to assassinate him.
Usually with established dictators (not Middle-Eastern tinpots- although Nemetz is arguably a tinpot, he's in charge of what is essentially an established and internally stable nation), you need a dissenting faction within the government to facilitate the assassination itself and prepare a transition government that can seize control and actually defuse the situation once the leader is killed. My case in point being the 20 July Plot.
Unfortunately, no such powerful dissenting faction exists within the Reich. Sure, a few generals such as Krebs are mildly annoyed by the meddling of Party officials, but this is a trivial matter. For one, they would never dream of betraying, much less beheading, the organization and leader they swore to obey. For another, there is no problem that they think killing Nemetz would solve; unlike Hitler in my earlier example, he has proven to be a generally competent leader (so far), and there is no massive problem to justify killing him. It would only result in the destabilization and likely destruction of the country and cause that they, unlike their Wehrmacht counterparts in 1944, still believed in.
So an internal conspiracy, the least risky of the options, is eliminated. What's left? A sniper? Poisoning? Dictators are paranoid and take zealous security measures for a reason.
Finally, I'll ask you: what do you hope to accomplish by assassinating Nemetz?
This isn't meant to be rhetorical, it's genuine.
I'd like to know how you think the situation will unfold should you succeed in offing him.
