Well this is the plan for Yugoslavia this morning.
Two armies main pressure on their front line across the river, while the armoured and Mountain forces try and hook round through Slovenia.
Cavalry push on the other flank as a possible alternate breakthrough.

It's kind of working. Managed to break through in the east before the Romanians could take too much ground.
Cavalry are advancing and we're hooking round the Yugoslav front, while 2nd Army has been quickly flipped back to face the Romanians.
If they hold, we'll win this.

BREAKING: There's fighting in the suburbs of Budapest but Yugoslavia has surrendered!
Just the Romanians and the small matter of the French to worry about now.

Right. Took the coastline and released Serbia (with Sarajevo) as a puppet.
NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG WITH THIS PLAN
Now to try and force back the Romanians.

Right. Time to try and push the Romanians back. I'd really like to wait but I need them gone, or at least on the run, before Italy starts getting aggy.
The good news is the Germans have sent troops down to support me in the south, so I'm trying the trick with the cavalry again:
Try and break through on the flank and push through to Bucharest, this time hoping the Germans hold the salient opened up.

NEW PLAN! The unexpected success of 3rd Army in the South means that if 1st Army can pin the main Romanian forces in the West, we MAY manage to pocket their entire force.
That's if 3rd Army can maintain momentum and break through to the mountains...

Partial success! The Romanians spotted the plan and started pulling out what they could, but we still managed to pocket seven divisions. Including, crucially an armoured division.
Time to close out the pocket then flip 2nd Army down south to try and resume the breakthrough there

Bucharest is under serious pressure now...
Bucharest has fallen!
Time to just attack on all fronts. They don't have the logistics and resupply now to keep their armies in strength. Time to just hammer them.

If you're wondering what the French and Germans have been up to for this entire war, btw, the answer is:
Staring at each other angrily from their respective forts.
The French did manage to send an expeditionary force to Yugoslavia early on, but I pushed them into the sea.

Romania are crumbling now, and the Germans have sent a force south again to try and bask in the glory.
Six more divisions pocketed, but it's pretty much a full retreat now.
Capitulation soon.

And that's Romania out.
Took the Black Sea ports and oil fields. Left them as a puppet state on the Russian border.
