Yugoslavia

[Olefin]

You have to wonder if there will even be a deployment into Yugoslavia for the V4. All depends on how the timeline is modified.

The V1 still had Yugoslavia as a country

The V2.2 has Yugoslavia falling apart before the war even though the timeline also refers to the Yugoslavian Army - i.e. an editing mistake most likely -

From V2.2

It did mention that Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia are Italian satellite armies while Dalmatia, Montenegro and Macedonia are on their own.

Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina (called Herzegovina for short)
and Slovenia are independent states and consist largely of independent, insular or cantonment regions. Littoral communities not devastated by
military action are insular, and areas around the various military cantonments are disputed. Macedonia is entirely devastated, insular, or disputed (mostly by the Greeks, Bulgarians, and Albanians).

The American Combat Vehicle Handbook still has the same deployments, same dates, same forces and same enemies

[StainlessSteelCynic]

Maybe not an editing mistake. During the first years of the conflict, the Serbian ground forces considered themselves the rightful Yugoslav Army and referred to themselves as such for a short time.
It's entirely possible that GDW tapped into that when they were writing that section.

[StainlessSteelCynic]

Just stumbled across this again (I was aware of it from years ago but forgot about it), a fellow T2k gamer's take on Yugoslavia: -

Yugoslavia:2000
These notes provide more detailed background for Yugoslavia in Twilight:2000. Most importantly, these notes were first developed in 1991-2 and have almost no influence of the tortuous events of the last five years. The unit deployment come from Twilight:2000s NATO and Warsaw Pact Vehicle Guides. Curiously enough, a lot of names that have since become better known appear

History of US Units in Yugoslavia:
In one of the larger wasted efforts of the war, in the summer of 1998, the IV US Corps was brought over from the CivGov areas of the northeastern seaboard to Yugoslavia, in an attempt to prop up the resurgent Yugoslav government. However, almost as soon as they arrived, IV Corps ran into trouble.

The Yugoslav government they had been sent over to assist had been dismembered by the Italian military between the time CivGov had committed to rounding up IV Corps and the time the troops arrived after a slow crossing. In its place were the states of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia. Greece sent a fresh infantry division to occupy most of the province of Macedonia. The Italians withdrew most of their occupation forces, leaving a few to prop up Slovenia as a buffer. With the ability to strike back resistence crushed, Italy had little further interest in the area. The Russians held Serbia and Bosnia using forces from Romania.

Slovenia is an Italian satellite, a puppet state. All local militias have about half the numbers you'd expect due to arms confiscations.

Croatia is an open buffer state. The Italians (and the Russians) are banking on Croatian hate for Serbians to keep them apart and too divided to help remove the Pact forces. The Croatians are kind of against everyone: the Italians and the Russians (fear of occupation), the US troops (invasion), and the Serbians (long list of historical reasons).

Bosnia has no independent government. The Russians occupied the cities; internal strife between Croatian, Serbian, and Moslem populations keep it in turmoil. The Russians don't like to venture outside the cities much as everyone shoots at them.

Serbia's puppet government wouldn't last a day after the Russian troops left, and commands little outside the city of Beograd. Serbian militias operate independently of the puppet government to oppose the Russian invaders. They spent 1998 and 1999 squeezing the Russians into Beograd, and keep them surrounded while trying to bring the rest of the country under control. They steal most of their military supplies from the Russians.

No one has come after Montenegro except the Albanians to the South.

Shortly after landing at Split, IV Corps gained contact with military leaders in Serbia -- including their contacts from the former Yugoslav high command.

76th Division was embarked to support the Yugoslav army and Montenegran militia against invading Albanians. The light troops would not have fared well against the other major Yugoslav military problem - the Russians, then taking over occupation for the Italians. The 76th has gotten on well with the Montenegrans: their fighting spirit appeals to the warrior aspect of the culture and the 76th has done some clever work against Albanian raiders. They have also not been afraid to use their engineers and troops as muscle for public works programs. The local culture has a bit of a soft-spot for "Mad" Milo Coleman, the divisional CO.

The Croatians saw the US troops as aiding Serbian needs - not their own. So, the bulk of IV Corps (the 42nd Inf and 80th Lt Inf Div, plus most Corps assets) found itself fighting its way through the local population just to get at the Russians. Unfortunately, the friction with locals took the edge off IV Corps (which was not all that strong anyway), and they were unable to dislodge the Soviets. IV Corps halted and set up cantonments northwest of Split.

About 20 years ago I typed up a bunch of Orbats for the Balkans in T2K based on the available material that I had on hand. I'll post them up for people to look at.

ALBANIA

Albania wasn't badly damaged by the war and the Albanian High Command is concerned about an influx of refugees or marauders. Although most of the army is positioned along the borders blocking passes, some Albanian units have crossed into Yugoslavia.

Equipment is very basic and obsolete. Tanks are strictly T-54/T-55 and some T-34/85s. Other vehicles include BTR-50/60s, and trucks. Artillery is a mix of 152mm and 122mm howitzers, 130mm guns, Chinese 107mm MRLs, and 160mm, 120mm and 82mm mortars. There are also 85mm, 57mm, and 45mm anti-tank guns, RPG-2s and Chinese Type 21 recoilless rifles.

BULGARIA

The Bulgarian Army is described as less technically advanced than the army that invaded Thrace in 1912 (surely an exaggeration). However they do not seem to be motivated too much beyond preserving their own hold on power and keeping the loot for themselves.

Bulgarian tanks are mainly T-55 although they had T-72s and T-34/85s. Other vehicles include BRDM-2s, BRDM-1s, MT-LBs, and BTR-60/50s. Artillery is a mix of towed 122mm howitzers (must have some 152mm somewhere), 100mm and 76,2mm Anti-tank guns, and BM-21 MRLs, There is also SO-122 SP mortars, 120mm towed mortars, AT-3 Anti-Tank Missiles, RPG-7s and ZU-23-4 and 37mm AAGs and SA-6 SAMs. They also have Mi-24, Mi-8, Mi-4, and Mi-2 helicopters. Some may still be kept airworthy as they have access to oil.

ROMANIA

Much of the Romanian Army was destroyed in the war, but some units have survived although there is no longer a Romanian high command system. There are also many other former Romanian personnel who are now fighting as small bands of partisans. Surviving Romanian Army units are still in fairly good shape, having absorbed other units or making use of both caches of weapons stashed across the Romania countryside and captured Soviet and Hungarian weapons. Partisans are not nearly as well equipped but better armed and supplied than many of their counterparts in other countries.

Romanian equipment is predominantly Warsaw Pact, although they have produced a lot themselves. Tanks are TR-85s, M-77s and M-81s (Romanian upgrades of the T-55), T-72s, and T-54/55s, and T-34/85s. Other vehicles include BRDM-3s, BRDM-2s, TAB-77, and BTR-60/50s. Artillery is a mix of towed 152mm and 122mm howitzers, 100mm and 85mm anti-tank guns, and BM-21 MRLs. There is also 120mm and 82mm mortars, AT-3 anti-tank missiles, RPG-16, RPG-7s and ZU-23-4, 57mm and 37mm AAs and SA-6 and SA-7 SAMs. The Romanians also used IAR-316Bs and IAR-330s helicopters, but these are unlikely to be still in use, although Soviet forces in Romania may use some captured helicopters along with their own.

YUGOSLAVIA

Recent History

With the death of General Tito in 1987 separatist movements started to develop with the various Yugoslavia states. By 1991 the governments of Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia officially seceded from the country. The Serb dominated national government sent troops to stop this with the breakaway state militias fighting back. The Serbs managed to control Bosnia, but after the new Bosnian governments request for Yugoslav national troops to withdraw was ignored, the Bosnians and other states rose up in outright rebellion against the Serbs. The escalation of violence led to Italian and Hungarian troops crossing into Slovenia and Croatia, mainly to stop the war from spilling over the borders into their territory.

In 1996 a Serb forces was dispatched to Romania to assist the Soviet/Warsaw Pact invasion, which weakened the Serb position in Yugoslavia and encouraged anti-Serb guerillas. With the situation worsening Italian troops fully entered Slovenia and Croatia, which effectively delineated the borders, and in the south the Greeks annexed Macedonia supported by the Albanians who wanted Kosovo. However the Albanian claim was not supported by Italy or Greece, leading Albania to break from the alliance with Greece and Italy and encourage Albanian guerillas to attack Greek forces.

The departure of Italian and Hungarian forces due to the war in the rest of Europe encouraged the Serbs to try and link up with NATO forces. This ultimately failed but the prospect of NATO forces in the Balkans led to a Soviet invasion in 1997 which gained control of much of Bosnia. It also also to the US sending troops to help the Serbs and anti-Soviet partisans. In 2000 Yugoslavia is a war thorn and divided country with numerous factions, both native and foreign vying for control and fighting among themselves. Each of the Yugoslavian states has its own governments, which are basically war councils as they do little else but fight each other. Both the US (CivGov) and the Soviets have troops in the country, with the US backing the Serbs and the Soviets backing the Croatians.

The various Yugoslav armies are in poor shape in 2000. The military situation in Yugoslavia has also been described as a snake pit, due to fluid and interchangeable borders and alliances, and almost no pre-war Yugoslav national army units have survived the war. Small arms come from many sources, both Yugoslavian, NATO, Soviet or others. Heavy weapons, automatic weapons and ammunition are in short supply and have been supplemented by civilian semi-automatics, bolt action rifles and shotguns.

The Yugoslav army and the successor states used Yugoslav T-84s, and T-72/74s, T-54/55s, M-47 and M4 Sherman tanks. Other vehicles include PT-76, BRDM-2, M-8, and M3A1 scout vehicles, and M-80, M-60P and BTR-50/40 APCs. Artillery includes 122mm and 105mm howitzers, 100mm, 90mm and 76.2 mm anti-tank guns, 120mm and 82mm mortars, 105mm and 57mm recoilless rifles, AT-3 and BOV-AT missiles, 37mm and 20mm AAG and SA-7 SAM.

Serbia

The Serbian Republic has organised two brigades which are under the control of the Serbian High Command. There are also six locally raised Serb militia brigades and numerous small bands of anti-Soviet partisans. The Serbian Republic forces are better armed than the militias and probably have sizeable stocks of vehicles and weaponry that they inherited from the Yugoslav national army. The Serbs are pro-NATO and are actively fighting the Soviets, who have occupied the Serb capital Belgrade, and other former Yugoslav nations and partisans.

Greece

Recent History

Greeces entry into the war started in 1996 when Turkey invaded Cyprus. The Greek governed declared war on Turkey, sent forces to Cyprus, and invaded Thrace. Greece also negotiated a mutual defence treaty with Italy in order to defend the Adriatic, and both countries declared the sea off limits to NATO ships and all Turkish trade. At the end of 1996 Greek naval and air forces attacked a NATO convoy bound for Turkey, leading NATO to declared war on Greece and Italy to declare war on NATO. In order to neutralise the Mediterranean, NATO aircraft attacked Greek naval targets and began nuking Greek industrial centres. The Greek government soon collapsed and a military junta of generals took control, annexing Macedonia in the process. The generals soon began to squabble and the Macedonians put up string resistance, and soon the country began to revert to a city state form of government with the military forces of the generals controlling their own fiefdoms.

The Greek army is still organised along NATO standards, but its equipment comes from a variety of sources as the Greeks lost a lot of their original equipment in Thrace and the Yugoslav splinter states including Macedonia. Greece has one division in Yugoslavia.
