If you wanna spends the least amount of money, the standard game and the OKW faction DLC.

Or you could wait for sale where this game and everything will cost less than dirt.

Thank you for the response!
So do any of the generals matter or anything like that?
Also by OKW faction DLC do you mean the "Western Front Standalone" whatever thing that I THINK unlocks the actual faction? Or specifically the three OKW specific dlcs that do doctrines or whatever?
This ♥♥♥♥ is VERY confusing to get into without context sadly.

If possible could you maybe list different DLCs for...frankly everything about the mod tbh, in case there are others like me that might be interested in a different faction or whatnot?
Pain in the ass I know, sorry bout that.

The commanders don't affect the doctrines, they are selected in the HQ when you have the mod. So to play the doctrines, specifically the zombie one, all you need the OKW faction which has the doctrine. The commanders that you can buy have been updated by the mod makers to do some custom stuff, but don't do much else.

And yes Western Front standalone, not the OKW dlc.
