But I have never understood why if CivGov had concerns for standing up to Milgov it would send IVth Corps to Yugoslavia post-TGM - (3 full divisions of troops) from the Northeast with vehicles, arms and ammo. 'Let's send a noticeable chunk of our military strength off to a corner of the globe where we cannot possible get anything back for doing so.'

Also, by any reasonable stretch of the imagination, I cannot see the complete destruction of the surface navy of the United States - too big, too spread out globally, and too good at defending themselves to be taken from the board. And it's not like they have to fight every Navy in the world - just the Soviets, who even at the height of the 80s could not manage a decent surface match in any given single theatre of operations, much less globally.

They've also got the US 7th Fleet being completely wiped out by the Italian Navy when CivGov tries to run a supply convoy to the noted Yugoslavian front.
