Zagreb

**Zagreb** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

General %playername%, it's great to see you gearing up for another campaign. After my time observing the Italians in Albania, it is good to be back with my Wehrmacht brethren.

As ever, I will do my best to explain the tactical situations we will be facing during these briefings.

**Primary Objective: Secure Zagreb.**

**Bonus Objective: Rendezvous with Prince Paul of Yugoslavia.**

**Bonus Objective: Wagner's Halftrack Survives.**

After the dismal failures of the Italians against Greece, High Command is worried about the British potentially opening a new front in the Balkans. As a result, preparations are being made with our Balkan allies to deal with this threat once and for all.

As part of these preparations, High Command has tasked us to send a small ceremonial detachment to meet with Yugoslavia's regent Prince Paul. He's currently planning to go on holiday, and has agreed to wait for us to meet him in Zagreb.

I know what you might be thinking, but our orders are very clear: we're just going to have another talk with the prince.

Out of respect for Yugoslavian sovereignty, the majority of your army is in reserve or on leave in Hungary. They'll be enjoying their own holiday on the shores of Lake Balaton.

While we certainly don't anticipate any problems, we should remain vigilant as we approach Zagreb.

Before we depart, there is a weather warning. There is quite the spring rainstorm going on, and it doesn't look to be letting up any time soon. The rain is definitely going to impact our mobility as the ground turns muddy.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

It looks like our report back to High Command regarding the Balkans is going to be filled with bad news once again, mein General.

This coup is a clear challenge against Yugoslavia's signing of the Tripartite Pact, and presents a serious threat to our hope for continued Yugoslavian neutrality.

As soon as we return to Hungary, I'll send a full report back to Berlin.

I suspect our mobilization for campaigning this year is going to come much sooner than we expected...

**Historically, the coup in Yugoslavia was the result of a very complex situation in the Balkans. German negotiations with Yugoslavia in 1940 and 1941 were made with the aim to keep the country neutral, so that Germany's southern flank would be safer and easier to secure for future operations.**

**But the terms of the treaties and cooperation with Germany did not sit well with many elements within Yugoslavia. Additionally, Britain was openly pushing for neutral countries to side with them against Germany.**

**In the end, German negotiations succeeded in getting Yugoslavian politicians to sign the agreements they wanted, but without popular nor military support the agreements proved to be worthless.**

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** Mein General, we should have been greeted by Yugoslavian border guards by now; the silence is most unsettling. I'm going to order our ceremonial detachment to load live ammunition, just in case we need it.

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** Message arrived from our quartermasters back in Hungary. It seems some of the men won a bet against their Hungarian army hosts, and the prize was access to few of their Toldi tanks. They failed to mention what they offered up as ante, but it's probably best we don't ask. A few of the Hungarian tanks will be available to us in limited stock.

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** Achtung! Achtung! Hostile forces have fired upon us, it is an ambush!

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** Mein General, our detachment has secured Zagreb, but there is no sign of the Prince or his escorts. There is a public radio broadcast that seems to be repeating; we'll get it translated shortly.

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** The radio broadcast is claiming there has been a coup, and that the usurpers have taken Prince Paul and his family into their custody! Mein General, perhaps there is still a chance we can rescue the Prince. We should scour the villages to the east in search of him.

* ***OBJECTIVE UPDATED***

Attempt to locate Prince Paul by capturing Yugoslavian villages to the east.

* ***Hauptmann Wagner:*** Mein General, it is no use. The organizers of the coup are too far ahead of us, and we've lost the trail on Prince Paul and his family. We should keep Zagreb secure and then prepare to leave Yugoslavia, before more hostile forces have the chance to trap our small detachment.
