It wasn't much force, but it was enough to stall a secondary drive. I was the Pact player, and that was definitely a disappointment that I remember, even as I thought, "Why is he doing that?!"

Interesting. In my T2kU (v1, of course), the US sends the 173rd Airborne Brigade from Vicenza, Italy to Romania in late December 1996, after the Italians break with NATO (but before they declare for the WTO) and Romania declares
for NATO, to help the Romanians and Yugoslavians hold off the WTO invasion and defend the Ploesti Oil fields until more help can arrive. As it turns out, that help, IV Corps, doesn't arrive until autumn, 1998, and then it gets held up in Yugoslavia. It's a classic, "Good luck, you're on your own" scenario.
