Just some point about Jugoslavia, any attack towards Italy will need to face the Vallo Alpino Orientale aka the fortification line built by the italians over a border picked for how much favorable to the defense it was; so any attempt of the Jugoslavian army to pass through it will be very very bloody.
Plus Hungary and Romania were an important ally and commercial patner for Italy, if the Jugoslavian partecipate at the attack Benny will use this as an excuse to attack her.
Attacking the near and middle east will also mean bring the UK and France in the war (not considering the trouble between Moscow and Tokyo during this period) and the URSS is also weakened by the Stalin purge...frankly i expect that the Slavic coalition (that is composed by nations that hardly are friends to each others and will struggle to coordinate) after some initial gain will see their ass severely kicked and Stalin selling his supposed allies to mantain his gain

Yes, the mix of fortification and terrain made that line a very hard nut to crack; expecially for an army not equipped for that like the Jugoslavian one (frankly even the 1945 Red Army will have great problem there) |
