German WWII Blitzkrieg through Greece & Yugoslavia (strategy boardgame)
This is turn-limited version of Axis Balkan Campaign 1941 by Joni Nuutinen (by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011)
Axis Balkan Campaign takes place on in Yugoslavia and Greece in 1941. Germany, preparing for Operation Barbarossa, needs to bail out struggling Italian forces and secure problematic southern sector in the rear area of the Eastern Front so that the Western Allies cannot threaten crucial Romanian oilfields or launch disruptive counterattack from Greece. In the middle of planning for the Greek operation, a coup in Yugoslavia removes them from the Axis Powers, delivering a huge blow to the prestige of Germany. As a result, Operation 25 (invasion of Yugoslavia) and Operation Marita (invasion of Greece) must be carried out in quadruple hurry: Wehrmacht divisions are still moving to staging area when the offensive is launched, The Yugoslav army is gearing up their huge number of divisions, the Western Allies might send more troops to Greece if there are delays, and German forces need time to prepare for their attack against the Soviet Union. So it is paramount that the victory is quick and decisive. On the plus side, enthusiastic but not always cut-throat Italian and Hungarian forces will later on join the German offensive with fresh forces, while some Italian armies are already in Albania in a stalemate skirmish with Greece forces.
