While reading Stone's the eastern front I cam across a little tidbit about the Brusilov Offensive, that the original plan was for not only Brusilov's army group southwest to advance into Galicia but also called for Evert's Army Group West and Kuropatkin's Army Group North to follow the same pattern as Brusilov. This would ecentially create one continuous wall of offensives.

Evert's and Kurpoatkin's armies were undersupplied and fearful of an offensive due to the utter failure of the lake Naroch offensive. Lets say the POD is of the Lake Naroch offensive being cancelled (or instead a reworked offensive under the Brusilov Offensive)

The Brusilov Offensive was into it's planning stages by now and the Naroch offensives changed Brusilovs plans very little so it wont butterfly away the offensive.

-June 4th the eastern Front opens up once more with a massive artillery barrage never before seen in war. The entire eastern front has become a possible battlefield.
-After the short but accurate barrage, Russian Troops from Brusilovs 8th, 11th, 7th, 9th armies rush across the lines. The Austrian line break just as in OTL
-Army Groups under Evert and Kurpatkin are ordered by Stavka to advance and assist in the Brusilov Offensive.
-Evert's Army group (As close to full stregth as Brusilov with the lack of Lake Naroch) Punches a hole through the German lines, no where near a sucsesful as Brusilov, who is fighting the austrians.
-Kurpatkin's army group finds the most trouble but slowly makes advances into german held territory.
-Without German reinforcements (tied down in the north from Evert and Kurpatkin) Brusilov will not be stopped until he reaches the carpathian mountains, In OTL he was stopped by German Reinforcements under Linsingen
-OTL good old conrad was calling for Austria to sue for peace once Brusilov reached the Carpathians. A more successful offensive might Push it over.
-Evert and Kurpatkin are likely taking a beating and their offensives will have died out taking nowhere near the desired amount of territory, BUT huge amounts of German troops have had to be transfered to the east, relieving Joffre and the French, and the Italians.
- Brusilovs armies Reach their maximum extent of control with Brest-Litovsk being captured by Evert and Lemberg by Brusilov.

Austria has likely lost closer to 2,000,000 men, captured or killed, in this offensive without German support. It would be impossible for Austria-Hungary to continue as an even ineffective force. If Vienna doesn't sue for peace I forsee the Hungarians going into open rebellion when the Romanians declare war, fearing they will loose their Romanian lands.
