To revive the tread a bit I would like to hear your opinion about the triggers for the war in Croatia.
By the time war triggers we already have JNA confined to barracks in parts of Croatia, away from Serb dominated areas, as part of Croatia decision to limit JNA movement following the war in Slovenia. In game that means we have dormant JNA units waiting decision to break through or defend in case CRO player attacks.
So far we have several options for a player to react and start the war;
- Krajina will push for provinces where Serbs live and each incident will provide an option to CRO reaction. So far I've scripted 4 incidents:
Plitivice, Glina, Borovo Selo and Pakrac incidents - AI chance is 0 to start war. There were other incidents (e.g. Kijevo) which may be added at later point.
Both Croatians and Serbs view these incidents as start of the war. However, for gaming reasons we needed an event after which we have persistent battalion sized engagements. I have decided for following:
Each of the SAOs have a last incident which starts the war no matter what. This is driven by Serbs.
- Krajina - operation Stinger - attack on Una valley (27/7)
- Western Slavonia - operation Okucani - fictive operation as Banja Luka Corps crossed Sava river (16/8)
- East Slavonia - operation Vukovar - fictive operation to link Serb villages in Eastern Slavonia (23/8)
JNA from Banja Luka, Zagreb and Knin Corps will actively take part in operations on Serbian side - without actual war between Croatia and Yugoslavia (lots of scripting). I am still scripting Eastern Slavonia entering the war and level of JNA involvement there is still unclear (probably Novi Sad and Belgrade Corps).
Croatia will have an option to react to incidents but will also get a chance to declare war once 10% of national provinces are lost (this is additional 10% after war starts). This will start the Battle for Barracks which will trigger full scale war with JNA troops from Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro deploying. Human player has this option enabled as relation with JNA deteriorates.
Please note this blueprint of incidents ( Kupres, Foce, Visegrad, etc..) leading to the war will be used in Bosnia. There will be barracks blockades in Bosnia too.
