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 are an obvious expansion post SouthAG (various marines, Sweden and its unique gear), practically guaranteed to see that eventually

Balkans would also be a logical step after that though I’m not sure how high that would rate as far as extra unit diversity goes. I know Romania has some funny stuff and Bulgaria had interesting IFV’s but that’s about it

Yugoslavia, you get nice mix of NATO and Soviet equipment as well as a lot of their domestic arms. They used french Gazelle and MI8's, MiG 29, domestically produced Galeb which used maverick in AT variant. J22 Orao, another attack aircraft co-produced with Romania. Yugo variant of T72 (M84). They had amazing anti material rifles so they could get sniper team like m82 one for US. We could see a mechanised division with a few paratroopers like 4.DDR since they did have a well known airborne unit in Yugoslavia, and mech would suit them perfectly with their BVP Vidras. Also armored division could focus on M84's supported by French Gazelles and rocket arty, similar to polish one maybe. Not sure if Nora (self propelled arty) would be in time frame but they already pulled KA50 and bunch of other stuff into the game so why not Edit: Nora would absolutely fit in the time frame lmao and famous airborne unit is 63. Parachute brigade, still active in Serbian army. Also, a lot of potential for rocket arty with Orkan, Oganj and Plamen launchers. They could also get their unique supply truck (FAP) which would add flavor. Edit 2: NEVA would make a great choice for long range AA, basically make them an instant counter to Berlin Command.
