I wholeheartedly agree. Southern Germany/Austria/Czechoslovakia border region is a very fertile and largely unexplored (in terms of the official modules) campaign area. There is a little source material out there, though- Chico's amazing Czech vehicle guide for one. And don't forget a possible papal tie in, with the Polish-born pope and his Swiss guards trying to make their way north from Italy back to Poland. I'd really like to run a campaign there someday.

You are right there about the possibilities for sure - the Madonna module and the Going Home module offer some great ideas for adventure there at the least (compared to Yugoslavia that is almost berefit of anything in canon besides Albania and the units that are there) but you would really have to make a lot of it up yourself.
By the way that is one reason I wish they had set the Going Home module later - if you look at the timeline it offers very little time to actually move around if you hope to make the boat. Basically all you have is half of July, August, September and half of October - if you dont head home after then you wont make it. And that really doesnt give you much time for real adventuring in Europe unless you either ignore the module, change the date (and thus change any modules that depend on that date as well) of the going Home or just decide to stay in Europe.
Just the time wasted making fuel can pretty rapidly run you out of time to do much in that little amount of time (if all you have is a medium still for instance look at how long it takes to brew a full tank of fuel for a Bradley or LAV or M1 tank)
Actually playing a campaign right now - and just the idea of having the opportunity to explore that area is making me think that maybe we should not do the traditional Krakow -Warsaw route and instead do the Madonna and try our luck to the west.
