Any chance any scenarios will make it into COTA?
I don't recall seeing any in the sneak preview.
Figured they may make as Yugoslavia is in the "ballpark" so to speak and that campaign was necessary for the Greek campaign to occur.
Thanks!!

It might be possible for someone to do up custom scenarios for Yugoslavia using the German units (I'm pretty sure you could do up a complete and accurate German OOB for Yugoslavia using the estabs shipping with the game) and the Greek units with their strengths adjusted. One thing I found as I researched the Greek campaigns was their surprisingly large scope, given how little-known they are; there's an awful lot of terrain and an awful lot of battles in there, certainly more than we can fit into a single game. There are quite a few battles between German and Greek forces that we just couldn't get in (like the German seizure of the Pisodherion Pass and the advance of the LAH down the German right flank, or the very first contact between the New Zealand Divisional Cavalry and the German forces North of Salonika, or the initial German attacks through the Rupel Pass) and the Yugoslavian campaign was never even considered - we already had plenty on our plate with Greece, Crete, and Malta!

Something else to consider is the balance of the game; Greece is a tough enough proposition for the Allies as it is, something I've done my best to accommodate by adjusting victory conditions and so forth. In Yugoslavia there was really no significant organised resistance worth speaking of, barely enough to delay the German advance for a few hours, not surprising given the internal state of the country at the time.
