AHC: Have the Western Roman Empire Survive and the Eastern Half Fall

Have them get Egypt and have the Ostrogoths go straight for Greece, then have the western empire retreat to North Africa and Italy, then fend off the Vandals.
 
Pretty hard to do, as the East was the economic engine of the Roman Empire. Invasions alone won't do...part of the reason why the emperors moved to Byzantium was to be closer to the front lines against the Persians, Huns, etc.

What needs to happen is for the invasions to be concentrated in the East, massive crop failures in Egypt and widespread revolt in the East while the soft underbelly of the Empire that is the West remains unmolested.
