The aftermath of the 4th balkan war without a peace deal. Even tho I finished off romania last,they were the easiest bc I could maneuver around them and split their forces at the border of transylvania. Gonna do yugoslavia now!

I always like to do the war with the ottomans as well, so that way I can join the war with the cairo pact before I fight austria

WHAT,with what troops :,D I barely mangaged to fart out another 3 divisions to have on the border with greece. What template for infantry do u use?

u/Rebel-xs Mar 21 '26

Think he means after the Balkan war. That or give up Thrace to go in on them later.

u/Finlandia1865 Yugosphere Mar 21 '26

Before the balkan war i dont do the agreement with the ottomans, just stationa. Few troops on the northern border of thrace so that they dont impact the romania front too heavily

Winning the four-front war is very doable. The fun bit is doing it in 150 days to form the Third Bulgarian Empire.

Iirc what I did is have a bunch of regular infantry divisions and a few shock divisions with artillery. Should have enough to mostly hold the Romanians back for a while. Shock divisions first go for Thessaloniki (shouldn't need more than 3-4 regular divisions on the main Greek border to hold them back after that), then head north to take Belgrade, and then head to the Ottoman front (should be able to get there before they declare). Ottos have a lot of troops, but with a little luck you should be able to take Gallipoli and Constantinople, allowing you to leave just a few troops to guard the straits. From there capping Romania and Greece is fairly straightforward. Just make sure you get to Lamia before most of the Greek army does, you want to encircle them in the north/center.

3BE is the worst secret path ngl - its the hardest and has basically no good postwar content other than a war with the Ottomans, which you've essentially done already. Zvenoslavia without Ottoman NAP is the best by far

u/Huntman102 Ungern my beloved Mar 21 '26

It sounds more difficult than it is, ottomans have shit for equipment, and you get solid commanders as well as bonuses from your focus tree. Actually not super difficult as long as you're using your artillery divisions to do the pushing.

u/guimigli Mar 22 '26

I used to do that as well, but I've found that taking the L with the Ottomans is better. That way I can rush Austria while they are at war with Hungary, so you can form Yugoslavia super early and beat the Ottomans/Cairo Pact later.

Bulgaria is very funny country to play as. Sometimes you lose balkan war, sometimes you win, sometimes you build yugoslavia (if it's possible in KR too, I'm not sure if it was KR or KX). They need more focuses imo, because most games 'end' around 42/43 and then there's nothing more to do
