Side switching of this kind is extremely precedented. In the RP, Greece, who should never have been allowed to if Austria isn't. IRL Prussia lost a few hundred thousand fighting Russia on the side of Napoleon and then switched sides once that invasion failed. Before that, Austria switched as well after getting their clock cleaned.

Also, this.

Have you guys looked through wikipedia pages on battles around this timeline? Side-switching was a fucking pandemic. It really isn't strange, at ALL, which is what frustrates me a bit about this ruling.
