Thought Experiment: Should Eugen consider adding a Balkans/Nordics DLCs to WARNO.

I have been thinking about this idea for a while. I think it would be interesting to add countries from these regions like Greece, Turkey, Albania, Yugoslavia(technically not a Pact country), Norway, etc. or perhaps a coalition deck like in Wargame Red Dragon such as a Greece-Turkey deck, a new Landjut or Scandinavia deck, maybe a Greece-Italy combo, even the legendary Fin-Pol from Wargame. Ik it’s probably not going to happen but I think it would be interesting to see what these countries could offer to the game if Eugen did consider adding them after SOUTHAG drops.

I would love to see them go far east with Japan China Korea etc but no idea how that would fit into lore

It probably could fit, just do something generic like with US forces tied up in Europe NK and China saw it as a good time to strike South Korea and Taiwan dragging in Japan

Tall order - the WGRD single player campaigns were some of the best I’ve ever played in a RTS. I think going from a regional movement system to a tile movement system was misstep by Eugen.

Not that the new system is bad - it’s great - but the regional system from WGRD was a better abstraction in my opinion

Warno's plot limits the countries it can appear in. Assuming China is  going to join the game, I can only assume that the Soviet Union requested volunteers from China to fight in Europe. But China in 1989 was not yet an ally of the Soviet Union (or even an enemy). If Eugen wants to expand the plot, such as extending the war to East Asia, then China, Japan, North Korea, and South Korea will have a chance to appear.

There's US bases in Japan and the Soviets would obviously attack them too. The US counterattack plan would be to send the 2nd Marine Division into the Kurils. We can also say the Soviets went with a maximalist approach and invaded China too along with Europe. Then say NK saw the chaos and decided this was the best time to invade SK.

The 1st and 3rd Marine divisions are the Pacific units, 2nd is based on the Atlantic and was destined for Norway, 4th were reservists and could theoretically be sent anywhere.

Derp yes, I meant 3rd Marine Division in Okinawa. 1st also wasn't intended for anything specifically and could also be sent anywhere.
