i noticed this as well. plus since i absolutely refuse to use paratroopers as i find them unfair (if the ai doesnt use them i wont), i went my own way with this.
my only issues so far have just been joining a faction with germany in it regardless of germanies political party, as i didnt realise that just starts a ticking time bomb you cant do anything about. GJ paradox.
Since we got a nice thread going here on Yugoslavia tips, maybe someone can help me out. I mostly followed the Bittersteel Hugeoslavia guide, but I can't get past Romania.
A quick Recap: Yugoslavia flipped Communist in Nov 1936, and annexed Austria in Sept 1937. I declared war on Greece (which dragged in Romania) in Mar 1938. It took me only 6 weeks to capitulate Greece in May 1938. I lost only 15k manpower at this point, and took out ~90k Romanians who attacked across the river into my entrenched northern Army. I left a few Cav divisions behind to guard my ports in Greece, kept my Paratroopers in reserve, but moved the rest to the Romanian border.
The first screenshot is after getting those troops in position, with full org and planning bonus. I have 40 divisions on the Romanian border, all 10/0 Infantry + SupART. Opposing me are ~25 Romanian divs, but they are supplemented by 11 (!) volunteer divisions from Italy and Germany. I've tried different micro moves, as well as the Force Attack and Battleplanner set to Agressive, but I can't make any progress. The combination of entrenchment, terrain, river crossings, and volunteers is too much for me. Bittersteel makes it look easy microing his way in the north, but I can't take a single tile from Romania in my game.
I did join the Comintern before attacking Greece, and switched from Superior Firepower to Mobile Warfare (I wanted the late game manpower boost), so maybe that was a bad idea.
I know my template is barebones, and if I had lots of 7/2 divs, tanks, or CAS, this would be easier. But Yugoslavia only starts with 3 mils, and it was tough to get what I have on the field by early 1938. I would have had to delay for 6+ months to get enough equipment to make a difference, which would let my enemies stronger and Greece more likely to get guaranteed.
Any and all advice is welcomed. Thanks.

Given that the Yugoslavia tree is under development, I made a bug report that I hope will correct the issue reported in the original post of this thread.
Give it a like or add your comments to increase the chances of a dev noticing this issue!

thank you! i came to bump this thread in hopes this issue would be seen by the devs too
Best to link this at the first patch thread too when it comes as those are usually read carefully by the devs.

Yep, will do. Thanks for your support.
I'm hoping that we can all play a fascist double-crossing Yugoslavia when the new DLC goes live without fear of one-click annexation.

Retreat giving Romania a thin stripe of your territory and let them in and spread out, then you cut and encircle them. Repeat until they can't stop you anymore.
This is now fixed but the auto-surrender conditions are also removed so there are always some chance for a Yugo resistance of annexation.
