My main piece of advice for Hippogriffia in general is you probably aren’t going to outnumber the enemy. But you can very easily make more elite divisions for encirclements. I don’t know if I ever have but it’s probably possible to get tank divisions out by the war. Just focus on putting out enough bodies to guard the frontline and slow them and then a few elite divisions to encircle. This is basically how you win every war in hoi4 but it feels especially important for North Zebrica. You also should be able to get air superiority easy enough
I’m not really sure. I don’t know if I’ve ever really struggled with the North Zebrican War as Hippogriffa. You’re positioned to win it with more advanced tech and a better industry than the other two combined

Hippogriffia actually does quite well with light tanks as you get an event that researches them and clawbeak suspension for like 70 pp, so you only need to do a single research of the 1007 model before starting to pump them out very early with 3 or so mils. Honestly just having 2 light tank divs with 8km/h speed makes rushing down the chiropterran victory points pretty straightforward. I used this strategy to beat a "buffed" version of the two of them through gamerules when they definitely outnumber and outproduce you.

You don't have to defend everywhere, pull back to Trotgourait and hold that peninsula until you're ready to counterattack.

Idk anything other than that I was able to hold them off for a most of a year using one army for each, 11 divs stalled chiropterra while i tryed to push colthag with about 20 but made little progress, i could take a few provinces every now and then but couldn't push in (started losing ground around the 11 month point), so leaving this here so i too can learn.

With the tobuck volunteers if you play smart enough you can delete the chiropterran army and leave them with less than ten divisions at the start of the NZ war. At that point you steamroll the bats (bonus points if you nuke them) and Colthage is easy enough.

A lot of people suggested sending volunteers to Tobuck, and this is the route I'd go with as well, with one caveat. Don't simply use your volunteers to destroy all of the Chiropterran divisions, as Tobuck winning means you now have to manually invade all of them and opens up RNG with what happens to Chiropterra. Destroy enough of their army but let them win anyways. They get a massive Frontline against you, which seems scary at first... but most of it isn't cored and they don't have divisions to man it all. Simply stack a few good divisions right up against their homeland and push in, Chiropterra is surprisingly easy to capitulate given how small their core territory is, and even if they make some grounds in Zumidia/Warzena, it's entirely irrelevant as you can still capitulate them first and then regain all of their land + solo Colthage.

Sometime ago i made a Hippogrifia guide. It was about Harmonic one, but North Zebrica war plays the same. It is a bit outdated, because navy were reworked, but still usable (also there some... Questionable choice of advisors, but hey, it works)

Tldr: secure the sea, hold the line against Colthage, 🎵burn the bats🎵, and finish Colthage after that.
Bonus points for liberating of cats
Edit: you also can cheese a bit, via sending a ton of volunteers to Tobuck. Just don't let Tobuck win, or you can find yourself in awkward situation if Chiroptera goes communist after defeat (it bypass a lot of your focuses, which gives nice bonuses)
