    • A requested alternate history

      In an alternate timeline where advanced technology developed around the late 1930s, Tannu Tuva and Luxembourg emerge as unlikely but technologically sophisticated adversaries. Tannu Tuva, a small republic in Central Asia known for its strategic location and resource-rich terrain, had been developing advanced weaponry based on pre-World War II designs, leveraging the rapid technological innovations of the era. Meanwhile, Luxembourg, a tiny but wealthy nation in Western Europe, had harnessed its economic prowess to develop advanced weaponry of its own, optimized for a modernized 1939 battlefield.
      The conflict begins due to a series of diplomatic missteps and territorial disputes. Luxembourg’s quest to secure its position as a leading European power collides with Tannu Tuva’s ambitions to expand its influence over Central Asia.
      Factions and Alliances
      Tannu Tuva
      • Military Leadership: General Ondar Bayar, a strategic mastermind skilled in guerrilla warfare and advanced tactics.
      • Technology: Leveraged advanced tanks, aircraft, and artillery designed in the late 1930s, including prototype radar systems and early forms of mechanized infantry support.
      • Goals: To expand territorial influence and secure access to critical resources in Asia.
      Luxembourg
      • Military Leadership: General Henri von Ardenne, an innovative tactician with a focus on mechanized warfare and advanced logistics.
      • Technology: Utilized sophisticated tanks, early radar technology, and advanced aircraft for reconnaissance and bombing raids.
      • Goals: To maintain and expand its European influence, asserting dominance over neighboring regions and securing strategic assets.
      Major Battles and Tactics
      1. Battle of the Caspian Plains (August 1939)
        • Tannu Tuva's Strategy: General Bayar employs a defensive strategy using fortified positions along the Caspian Sea, taking advantage of the rugged terrain. The Tuva forces use their superior artillery to bombard Luxembourgian advance units, while their aircraft provide close air support.
        • Luxembourg's Tactics: General von Ardenne launches a large-scale offensive with a focus on blitzkrieg tactics. The Luxembourgian tanks, equipped with advanced optics and high-velocity guns, initially overwhelm Tuva defenses but face stiff resistance from entrenched positions.
        • Outcome: The battle ends inconclusively, with heavy casualties on both sides and a temporary stalemate. Luxembourgian forces are forced to retreat and regroup, while Tannu Tuva consolidates its defensive positions.
      2. Siege of Luxembourg City (December 1939)
        • Luxembourg's Strategy: In a bold move, Luxembourg launches a counteroffensive aimed at crippling Tannu Tuva’s ability to sustain its military campaign. They employ strategic bombing to target Tuva’s supply lines and communications.
        • Tannu Tuva's Defense: Tuva counters with a combination of anti-aircraft defenses and stealth tactics, utilizing early radar technology to intercept Luxembourgian bombers. Ground troops launch a series of guerrilla attacks to disrupt Luxembourgian operations.
        • Outcome: The siege causes significant damage to Luxembourg City, but Luxembourg’s resilience and logistical capabilities allow them to withstand the siege and launch a counter-attack. The city is heavily damaged but remains under Luxembourgian control.
      3. Battle of the Altai Mountains (May 1940)
        • Tannu Tuva's Strategy: Bayar uses the mountainous terrain to his advantage, conducting a series of ambushes and using the natural cover to conceal troop movements. The Tuva forces deploy specialized mountain units equipped with advanced climbing gear.
        • Luxembourg's Tactics: The Luxembourgian military attempts to use their tanks and aircraft in the rugged terrain but struggles with the limited mobility. They employ artillery bombardments to dislodge Tuva positions but face stiff resistance.
        • Outcome: Tannu Tuva emerges victorious, exploiting Luxembourgian logistical difficulties and securing a significant strategic advantage in the region.
      Diplomacy and Peace Negotiations
      The war reaches a critical point as both nations face mounting casualties and economic strain. International pressure and the threat of prolonged conflict force both sides to seek a diplomatic resolution. Neutral nations, including Switzerland and Sweden, facilitate the negotiations.
      Treaty of Almaty (August 1940)
      • Terms for Tannu Tuva:
        • Recognition of Tannu Tuva’s sovereignty over its current territorial holdings.
        • Luxembourg agrees to provide economic aid to help rebuild war-torn regions of Tannu Tuva.
        • A joint development agreement for technological advancements and peaceful cooperation in scientific research.
      • Terms for Luxembourg:
        • Retention of control over Luxembourg City and surrounding regions.
        • A commitment to reduce military expenditures and increase investments in post-war reconstruction.
        • A formal apology and compensation for the damage inflicted during the siege.
      • Mutual Agreements:
        • Establishment of a demilitarized zone along the contested border areas.
        • Formation of a bilateral commission to oversee compliance with the treaty terms and address any future disputes.
        • A cultural exchange program to foster better relations between the two nations and their citizens.


      The Treaty of Altamy is the end of this short but intense conflict. Luxembourg will be rebuilding, searching for new allies, and preparing to gain revenge.

      Should i make a sequel including the rise of panama? let me know.

    • very interesting.

      I would like to say (Part 1), the reason Luxemburg did what it did was because it and Belgium decided to let germany walk in, after a coup by the military in Belgium, did they actually start fighting. When the war ended, Luxemburg and Belgium were punished together, pushing benulux nationalism, causing them to unite. Tannu on the other hand was coup by russians who were flying the USSR under bukhirin who's disastrous management of the country lead to a mass peasant revolt when tuva invaded (The USSR had be fighting the peasants for a long time, but this was the final straw) all there states revolted to the National Tannu Reclimation Governence. Then after the surrender, the Democratic Republic was formed. (It's communist)
      Do ypu want COW to be more complex and tactical? Are you tired of updates that just add another P2W aspect of the game?

      You are not alone, many other people share your veiws, which is why I decided to create the Improvement Party, a group dedicated to the goal of making the game more complex and less P2W.

      If you are interested, contact me to join.

    • also, the peace treaty ends in 1951, meaning there is a massive cold war between them, as the russians get pagan slavic undead warriors, and Luxemburg opens the SS portals.....

      democratic peoples republic is by defnition communist, so yeah. And hilter was sympethatic to luxembourgians, so he allowed a union the luxembourg came to fully control. my theory at least.

    • The USA, Britan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand united to fight of the Luxembourgian threat. Then Panama attacked Right after ww2(The DUF lost). The DUF is being pushed back by panamas gigantic army (thats made entirly of banananas)
      Oman conquered India and all of the middle east during WW2. Thats pretty much the rest of the world.

      I have a similar theory:

      The Greater Luxemburg State sent an ultimate to the neatherlans in early 1938, backed by germany, and appeasement kicked in. Afterwords, Austria would be invaded and integrated into the german reich. However before germany could demand sudatenland, Luxemburg would invade France, they would get to Paris within weeks, and germany and her allies would join, britian was unprepared and weak and 6 Luxemburg commandos would allow German marines to land in the channel, Luxemburg paratroopers would land in London, and the UK was so humiliated, they surrendered. Luxemburg waits for no one, so they back stabbed germany by getting a collaboration government and instantly taking every major german city. In agreement with hydrich himmler, he would become the new leader, and surrender to lux. Thus ended the 1 hour war. With this collaboration with the SS, they were able to use there 'science' to open the portal to "<"<<:>& and get eldrich monsters, the first one being >_$_#]^":*^[.

    • and the USA fell into civil war

      I would also say, Luxemburg is not so much looking for allies as they are looking for new land, during the great cold war, many smaller nations will fall by the hand of Luxemburg. And tannu tuva

    • BTW Oceanian parts of DUF and the former confederacy fall to Tanna Tuva and Panama respectively. At this point, Panama is scary enough that Luxembourg gives them the rest of America In order to lessen their occupation and avoid a two front war. Panama remains neutral. Tanna Tuva and Luxembourg enter a few year’s truce where a massive military and tech build up takes place. Eventually, they agree to even invade Panama together, you decide how that goes, but I’d give them the advantage overall…

    • However before the second truce was signed Luxembourg managed a counter attack that took the rest of what is considered Europe, stopping at roughly the Urals and the countryside of Istanbul. They even brutally stormed Switzerland and Sweden, their neutrality failing to save them. Few nations remain. Tanna Tuva was angered by the breaking of the Altamy treaty but accepted peace to deal with the rising power of Panama. Again, you can choose how that war goes but I would give a massive advantage to Tanna Tuva and Luxembourg. You better not be using AI BTW… just checking.



      Meanwhile, another force grows under all three’s noses…

      CarKing the 6th of the Abrahamic Caliphate

    • I would say that Panama would lose the war, as they are having infighing between the National Bannana Party and the modern rifles party, the NBP whatanto use bannanas exclusively while the other wants to fully use guns and tanks and stop using banananas.

      The NBP would coup the country and proclaim the Bannana Empire, and use ONLY bannana swords. However, agenst Tuva and Lux. Bananana swords are pretty useless when faced with undead hyperborean Slavic warriors (especially them because they are trained in ancient warfare) and elite strorm troopers.

      The first Panama war was different, America was weak and did not have alot of heavy armor, and there military was less trained.
      However, the communist USA now is alot stronger, and will join the war to regain lost land.

      The peace treaty will be that Texas and northern Mexico will got the the communist USA, while Latin America will be divided by east and west by Lux. and Tuva. However, the peace treaty of Bannana City in 1942, will pave the way for Fall Rockwell, the Invasion of America in 1943....

    • also I think Lux. should be called Greater Luxomborgish Empire, as I think they should be closer to historical germany and Tuva closer to Then USSR.

      Also to be funny, let's have south Africa revolt agenst the Communist USA and form 'Prussians Sud Afrika' under Seigfred Muller and his army of mercenaries, with special guest star: Michael Werball the 3rd.

    • Let's also have a power struggle between Muller and Werball, to decide the fate of South Africa. Werball wants to make a mercenary empire, while Muller wants to more monarchist.

    • Sadly, I just declare that direction an alternative dimension. Due to the leadership of VIP, Panama once managed a solo ACAI win… it is no joke. Slab’s party would be able to easily cement control and continue his offensives…
