Scenario 1)
Id try my best to end the war with the superior country, in a way that benefits me, such as giving it what it wants, and allying with it, after that I'd use his resources to attack country B, A and the superior force would join me in this, as I take down B, I'd then capture then sabatoge power plants, electrical dams, etc in the superior country. While making it look like country A did it, after that, with the superio countries forces dwindled and the populace sick of war, I'd invade while it is busy with country A, taking over The superior forces country, soldiers and weapons.

Actually the Peloponnesian war says otherwise.
Sparta's economy actually relied on trade, if i used Athens's superior navy to bring the spartan trade to a halt, it would affect their supply lines greatly, and if i used that in combo with launching disease ridden corpses into Sparta's camps, it would inflict many deaths, i would then attack the spartan camp after i was sure the navy and infection had taken affect in the spartan army. I would call back my navy as they had fulfilled their purpose.
I would send the weakest members of my army with the infection in first as cannon fodder, and keep sending in infected citizens & soldiers, saving those still healthy in reserve. Once my navy came back, presumably back to the area of attack before new supplies could reach the Spartans, i would send in my aforementioned reserves and navy in combination to launch a daring attack on the spartan encampment, focusing on a two pronged attack and focusing about 65% of my strength on the right flank, 35% on the left flank. Athens has major numerical superiority over Sparta, so the deaths of those infected citizens and soldiers would take my army's numbers down to where i have a few more men then the Spartans still. used in combo with a naval attack should ensure victory.

Well, you're in the same essential boat as Trat. Your army is overwhelmed, basically. xD
You have no gold, barely any food, and no medicine. In other words, joo ****.

so what are my options now?

They'd have land based supply lines. No need to use their navy.

The only sound tactics i can think of is to use the navy to blockade the Sparta's supply lines and to catapult my city's infected corpses into their army.

No further tactics? No special preparations to be made such as my combination of Ghengis Khan, the Greeks, and Sun Tzu? Well then...
You manage to hold them off just long enough to survive the battle and push them back, for now, but the war isn't over, and you've drained your coffers of most of your gold recruiting the mercenaries, and now they, too, are stricken with plague, putting an even further strain on what little food and medicine you have.

x3 I should have made that clearer. You only have time to do one of each thing, as in, in regards to defense, you can only do the metal thing or the launching corpses. For the navy, you can only ferry supplies or you can bring in mercenaries.

Peace talks. Divide the land in half for each country, then follow through with the next plan.
Were it that we had the option to let them fight it out, I would use guerilla warfare agains tthe 'superior force', along with Ghengis Khan's horseshoe tactics, and Sun Tzu's subterfuge, i.e. fake intel and wars of attrition, combined.
Hit the edges of their army with small raiding forces, use my entire nation as a battlefield to wrap around the army and cut off their supply lines, and then in actual skirmishes and battles, I'd march at them in straight lines and columns, using the phalanx from the Greek times to keep the soldiers hit alive, while collapsing the middle of my columns to fool the enemy into thinking they had broke ranks.
Once they'd been lured in, turn around and crush them with a flanking from all sides, plus two or three other columns on each side of what was left of the enemy's main army. After that, I'd use small, roaming paries to mop up any resistance left.
Tactical genocide, brother. :3
My scenario -
You're Athens, and Sparta is attacking. Your country is riddled with plague, so you have inferior weapons and armor, your horses are dying, your food is bad, and your soldiers' numbers have been cut in half, not to mention they're weak from lack of food, and your soldiers were less well trained than Sparta's in the first place.
You have but two things to your advantage.
Your navy is still at sea, and thus unaffected by the plague, and your city is one of the best fortified of all the Greek city-states.
These are your options...
In regards to your navy, you can do four things.
-Use them to ferry supplies and medicines to your city from other Greek nations, and run the risk of infecting them too.
-Have them help in the defense of the city, guaranteeing infection, and putting an even further drain on your dwindling resources.
-Order them to assault the Spartan polis
-Have them attempt to hire mercenries from other nations
In the defense of your city you can do one of these things...
-Melt down horseshoes, daggers, knives, anything that's metal and not being used, to make more weapons, and cannon balls
-Make armor and arrows out of said metal
-Make a few catapaults to fling the corpses of your disease ridden people into the opposing army.
Remember, this is only to save your city from being sacked, not annihlate the Spartan threat.
As far as my navy I would have half of them recruit mercenaries from other regions and the other half ferry us medical supplies. and in the defense of my city I would melt down unneeded metal to improve or repair my weapons. And the dead plague civilians will be catapulted into the enemy.

So continuing with that scenario from before
For blackrain: Your country is now a dominating power, but country A (from before) gets greedy. They invade country B which is about to be annexed into your country, also according to rumors the superior force from before may be gathering forces up for another invasion, making a staging area in a nautral country, which we will call Country C.
For reference, countries A & B are along your northern border, Country C is along your eastern border, and the superior force has a border to your south. What do you do?
For Tratpan, the superior force invades country B, and your forces there are bogged down fighting. they bomb your forces in the south and inflict heavy casualities before invading over your border there. Country A being assisted by the superior force invades from country C (read blackrain's scenario) from the east, bypassing your defenses in the north. the enmy is already within your capital in a few hours and control already 55% of your country within a few hours. You have just received word of this invasion now due to communication problems and must make a counterattack or defend what you have left, or something else. in your remaining territory you thankfully have a majority of our military bases with reserves in them, waiting to be deployed. The army that was already fight the enemy is gone - most killed or captured. The only resistance keeping the enemy at bay now is civilian militia and law authorities. what do you do?

The war isn't over yet because I'm hoping that history will repeat it self.
Even though my country and my neighbour have made a stronger enemy, the invaders didn’t take into account the political warfare against invaders. My country will have casualties and loose territories, in time my country should gain support from nations that opposes these countries intent on conquests of other nations.
In many wars, the long term outcome is that the invaders lose.
•World War I: Russia invading across Europe
•World War II: Germany invading across Europe
•Vietnam has fought of many invaders for years, surprisingly against superior nations
My country and country B is fighting for the right reason, that reason is to protect our nation against invaders.
I think we might be going towards WW III. 
Edit: Forgot to mention that the Argentina invasion of the Falkland Islands was a fail.
UK gain stronger bonds with their allies and support from many nations.

Aw, I beat Trat? xD Bad. Ass.
Anyway, Trat, I agree with you, it's just a scenario for you to try and solve. x3 Although, it is nearly impossible to win from that position...
