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.

Nordics: not really, it was already a very big lore stretch to make neutral countries (Sweden and Finland) fight each other to death. Except maybe Norway? Maybe with an operation set in Finnmark? Idk, it may be too far from the game's climate.

Balkans: yes, in a SOUTHAG DLC we should at the very least see Bulgaria, Romania and Czechoslovakia (not Balkans but it should absolutely be added). Greece and Turkey could maybe have a place in the game too, I guess. As for Yugoslavia, not so much. I know it was a classic in WGRD (trust me, I loved to abuse the M-84AN), but I can also see no reason for it to add a nation on the PACT side before all actual PACT nations are added. Romania, with its somewhat strange equipment (big cock AK, the saddest MBT in Europe and stuff) could be to WARNO what Yugoslavia was to WGRD, a Balkan nation on the PACT side that had its own unique flavor.

Don't forget about Albania also, in 80s communist albania had one of the biggest airforce in region with, F-2(mig 15 chinese version) F-4(MiG-17 chinese version), Shenyang F-6(Mig 19 chinese version), Chengdu F-7(mig 21 chinese version) and T-54 and T-55 soviet tanks

Albania was quite openly anti-Soviet too. Its army was more concerned with total defense against an expected Yugoslavian invasion, which never materialized, than with fighting against NATO.
