Ok so one of the major theatres of GW1 is shaping up to be me and Coraspia vs Acronius.

I was thinking that before the war, Leutland and Coraspia, both being (i'm assuming) autocratic imperial monarchies, would have a formal military alliance dating back about a hundred years or so. By the time of GW1 the alliance would be more of a drain on Coraspia though because Leutland would essentially be a paper tiger, having 'strong' forces basically only in terms of numbers, with military organization, production and leadership basically being a disorganized clusterfck by the start of the 20th century. Popular discontent in Leutland and increasing public demands for dat librulization prompt the Leutish monarchy to launch an invasion of Astronea under the pretext of irredentism (iirc Astronea has a Nordic minority).

This invasion could bring Acronius into the war at which point Coraspia would be obligated to jump in. Of course Leutland cannot get its sht together and suffers lolhueg casualties while putting most of the burden for success on Coraspia's shoulders, before the monarchy eventually collapses in the Korporatist revolution. Meanwhile while this shizz is going on there would also be a colonial struggle going on in Tenburg which eventually results in independence. Peace terms would result in Leutland being stripped of its colonial empire and forfeiting territories to Astronea while the monarchy flees to Coraspia.

so wut do you guys think
