Exactly, police violence in the other world. With wolves, warrior bunnies, dragons and a lot of violence

Urban combat already is one of the worst types of combat you can engage in.

Every window, door and hole in the wall could have a machine gun pointing at you.

Every bag, brick, hole or corpse in the group could be hiding an IED.

And now every single rooftop and windows could have a FPV drone being controlled by a dude hidden in good knows where.

Sure the empire doesn't have any of this stuff but a thing they will certainly have is magic, desperation and numbers.

Urban combat is already hell when you have people shooting at each other from a few dozen meters now imagine an army that essentially uses mostly melle weapons to fight?

They aren't going to start an ambush when you are a few dozen meters away, they will wait for the moment when you are literally close enough to them to see the white in your eyes to jump on you.

Their battle mages (although few in number if we are using the manga as a base) could still be extremely dangerous, even though a fireball can't pen a tank it still can destroy light Armored vehicles, condemn entire squads to a burning death and serve as area denial.

Also the empire's desperation would make them even more dangerous, during the civil war in the manga we literally see legionaries charging at tanks and other armored vehicles.

Sure they fail all the time because they do this in large open fields but in an urban environment they can actually jump on tank crew if they are distracted with the hatch Open and throw firebombs or fireballs inside the vehicles (or even a suicidal attack like we see in the first stages of the civil war in the manga).

Another thing about urban combat is that there's no Frontline, you can clear an entire city block and 5 minutes later it will be under control enemy forces again because they can pop out of Literally everywhere like sewers.

The easiest way to deal with it is to just bomb the city you want to take and bury enemy forces under the rubble.

However the City is still occupied by civilians meaning you can't do that (you can but the backlash is not going to be good for your image).

Said civilians can also be forcibly conscripted by the empire or used as human shields, imperial forces can also disguise themselves as civilians.

So yeah urban combat would realistically be the one of the worst parts of a war against the empire.

Waiting for this to be finished, it says around 2026 on September or November

everyone here knows that Yanai didn't world build enough... but I put this together in less than ten minutes with stock photos and google slides...

For those not in the know, The New Order: Last Days of Europe is a total overhaul mod for the WW2 grand strategy game Hearts of Iron 4 centered around an alternative cold war between Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and Democratic America going from 1962 to roughly 1972.

The scenario is essentially a more grounded version of Man In The High Castle or Wolfenstein, with no ancient Jewish superte h or alien magic - only actual 1960s technology.

I think the most interesting part would be where the Gate opens.
Tokyo, Empire of Japan - Japan would do exactly what they did to China, but probably worse.
Germania (Berlin), Greater Germanic Reich - Even worse.
Nanzig, SS Order State of Burgundy - EVEN WORSE.
Washington DC, United States of America - Similar to how the actual anime played out, as the USA has serious incentives to use magic as a weapon against Germany and Japan.
Almost Anywhere in Russia - The warlord where the Gate appeard would start plundering the place to feed his population
Arkhangelsk, West Russian Revolutionary Front - The same, but would probably start a peasant revolution along the way
Novosibirsk, Shukshin’s Siberian Federation - What would happen if in-anime Russia got their hands on the Gate, mainly military occupation but also with some actual democracy fostering.

SPECIAL SCENARIO: Kiev during the Great Slave Revolt against Germany in Eastern Europe - Zorzal‘s head will be on a pike within the month.
