Albania

As a result of the triple invasion of the troops of Austria-Hungary and Germany from the north and Bulgaria from the east in October 1915, the Serbian army was forced to retreat inland. It soon became clear that it was not possible to keep the superior enemy, so it was decided to retreat through neutral Albania to the Adriatic coast for further evacuation to the Greek island of Corfu.

During the retreat of the Serbian army, together with the government and part of the Serbian population, led by King Peter I Karadjordjevic, the columns were attacked by pursuing Bulgarian troops and organized bands of Albanian partisans. Among other things, the fugitives faced severe cold and ice on the narrow mountain roads.

Since the withdrawal began, it is estimated that some 77,455 soldiers and 160,000 civilians have frozen to death, starved to death, died of disease or were killed by enemies. Of the 400,000 who set out on the journey, only 120,000 soldiers and 60,000 civilians reached the Adriatic coast. Austrian pilots used new techniques of the time, dropping bombs on retreating columns in what was dubbed "the first aerial bombardment of civilians".

Description
Albania map is an elongated mountain range with a river flowing from north to south. This is a battle between Bulgaria and Serbia. The Serbs start at the outpost some distance from the Bulgarian settlement. Their task is to capture all points as quickly as possible and hold at least three of them. The task of the Bulgarians is the complete destruction of the Serbian troops. For this they are provided with cavalry and one bomber aircraft.

During the capture of control points, the Serbs receive field guns, stationary machine guns, mortars and cavalry in limited numbers.

The armament of the Serbs differs markedly from the Bulgarian by the complete absence of light machine guns.

Trivia
In Serbian historiography, this event is also called "Albanian Golgotha"

Despite its huge size, there are few mobile vehicles on the map. As stated by the developer of the map, he did it on purpose, so that the players could feel at least a little the difficult transition that the Serbian soldiers and refugees went through.

It was based on the "An Lao Valley" map made by Lotte from the EoD mod.
