Southern Front: Race for the Turkish Straits

A hypothetical 1980s conflict across the Balkans and Turkish Straits pitting Soviet-backed Bulgaria and Romania against Greece, Turkey, and Yugoslavia with limited Western reinforcements. Play focuses on maneuver and seizure of key terrain as both sides lack forces to hold a continuous front, making airmobile, airborne, and amphibious formations pivotal for outflanking and rapid thrusts. Political uncertainty and shifting alliances affect operations: Romania may be unreliable or neutral, Greece can withdraw, and Albania behaves unpredictably, altering strategic options. Optional rules link this theater to a wider European campaign, allowing cross-front reinforcement decisions that trade local strength for needs elsewhere.
