With a large influx of Germanic troops, they are positioned close to these swing countries. These countries can be easily targeted by my allies.
If they are conquered, another path to rescue the last Han city in Sarmatia will be opened. These cities can also boost the economic power of my allies when captured.
If the invasion by the Germanic tribes fail, I will have 1-2 enemies behind me and my allies may even be invaded.
Context:
1. I'm hard pressed in Sarmatia. All my donations to the Han (aggressive state of economy) failed to push the Han to summon reinforcements in Oblia and the last Han city. This led to Oblia's fall.
2. In Sarmatia, I'm fighting hordes of Armenians and Cappadocians who invaded the Han territories. These include elite troops.
3. I'm launching a 2-pronged invasion of Asia. The first was a successful landing on Anatolia that allows for a land campaign to be waged. The second is a sea campaign from Crete to Roman Cyprus. I'm gathering troops at Crete for now.
4. I've sent a small invasion force to North Africa and I'm approaching Alexandria. A large allied fleet with most of the Han troops are trailing behind, near Cyrene.

I guess you can declare war on the bosporan kingdom. Its luck if the han defended olibia successfully, and they will send a general to conquer it. When the bosporans defeated, they will concentrate to the eastern kingdoms and preventing a raid from the bosporans itself.

I usually declare war on Bosporan Kingdom at the beginning when I play on Han side. Han usually defeat the kingdom by itself if its troops are still around.
And there will always be a big 'Invasion of Han' from Caucasus so I usually send a fast moving group (e.g. Pompey, Antony, and Commander) to intercept the invasion at Phasis en route Black Sea. Then spam troops from there to prevent the Rome side to go further into Han territory.
If I play small nation, I normally pay the Rugii and Venetii (and also Odrysian) to help with the initial push. If they are to switch side later on, I will just station my troops around their cities, ready for taking right when they join the order side.

The Bosphoran Kingdom was crushed eventually, but with Han power at sea, the Caucasian states easily overran the Han's home territories. I forgot to provide this screenshot yesterday to show what I was talking about:

I would try to bulid up my economy and army before I attack neutral nations. Then your going to send your army in the neutral nations and surround there city's and make sure your troops have seige gun on them. Then I would declare war if needed.

i guess thats normal to han that they eventually be crushed in their east side, but after you have get the roman mainland and the parts of asia, your win will still be secured. I dunno, but dont declare war. That neutral nations will still help you in the conquest, and declaring war on them will only make your allies busy, although they will take those nations fast.

Boii has the most difficult start among the western allies of the Han due to the concentration of strong Roman generals and starting troops against them.

Boii has the most difficult start among the western allies of the Han due to the concentration of strong Roman generals and starting troops against them. It was hard. Not an all-or-nothing extreme start, but manageable even without gens. It might be because this precedes many updates and the AI was more forgiving. Or the Han moved efficiently enough to sweep the Roman forces away.
