1935 : The Soviet-German War

how in the Hell did Germany fail to take Leningrad despite it being at most 150 km to get there? This doesn't feel like a new and different World War- this is just retreading the Second World War, and retreading the Second World War is so damn overdone and boring it feels like you're marching through the Mariana Trench of unoriginality.

The Germans stop short of Moscow, Leningrad, and I feel I can predict with absolute certainty- will stop before Stalingrad the next time we see them. Oh but the Brazilians are here, I forgot- and that makes it different in the sense this fucking war doesn't matter because Brazil is a 4D chessmaster who knows what will happen, why, and how it'll happen. So inevitably when Germany and Russia exhaust themselves they'll be ganged up on by Brazil because of course they will. If there's a way to make people not give a fuck about what will happen next in a story, is to give them a sense of 'who gives a shit' about current happenings in your plot. And you've shown your hand- even if Brazil wasn't shown preparing this war to happen- that Brazil would've come in, saved the day- blasted apart the revolting 'Saxon' half of the Anglo-Saxons and restored the Russian Empire puppet regime (which is still so stupid, it makes no sense at all)
