How to trigger the Ljubljana awards

[Tom_Sawyeee]

So I just finished the "Demand Slovenia" focus but I can't do the awards, so I wanted to know what exactly do I need to do to trigger them the first and second award(I have read the conditions but I don't quite get the part of "Yugoslavia must exist" and "Yugoslavia doesn't exist")

Necro i know, but i'm having this problem with the tree, if i defeat yugoslavia and then only take slovenia in a peace deal and leave them be besides that will that fill the requirements?

If you manage to do this without involving the Allies in war, then you can do the next awards.
On the other hand, if the Allies don't get involved, it is easier to just annex entire Yougoslavia, then the next two focuses will be bypassed and you can get to Second Ljubljana Award or War with Greece, but this only if you already demanded Slovenia and they refused.

Chasp,
If you wait too long, before or after, doing the "Demand Slovenia" focus you wont be able to do the first Lubj Award.

Because, Italy would have previously made some grumblings about wanting a part of Yugoslavia, well after she had earlier annexed Albania.

Italy has her eyes on the State of Dalmatia and all of her strategic ports on the coast, across from the Italian mainland. Italy, will always, without fail, annex Dalmatia.

There are 4 or 5 states that must be in Yugoslavian control for the 1st Lubj Award to be completed and Dalmatia, unfortunately is one of them.

When doing that whole string of conquests to end it with Greece as your puppet, you must not hesitate one bit, even after you beat out Italys quest for Yugoslavian land and annex it for yourself start the "Fate of Greece" focus right away.

You'll also need to start influencing Greece and supporting the fascist party within. (side note, do the same thing for Yugoslavia before annexing her, else, 50/50% chance she might refuse letting you taking her over). Once you do that Greece will, happily, roll over as your puppet.

Too many times I hesitated on Greece to have Italy start a war with her. Once, I was 3 days away from aquiring my Greecian puppet when Italy struck. If Italy starts a war with Greece it'll be the beginning of the end of any, futuristic, plans of European conquest. Everything, from that point on will be a futile up hill struggle in defending the homeland.

However, once you puppet Greece, before Italy strikes, you'll have a peaceful time period ahead of you to build up your ground game.

Best of luck.

There must be a timing aspect to act on this area of the Natl Focus. For example, my recent game (Germany, Veteran, 1936), I left the Demand Slovenia focus until after I finished with the Lowlands and France (Poland feel between Aug 23 and Aug 30 1939, and all of the West was annexed by Nov 12 1939, including France). I had triggered all of the other demands but not Slovenia, which I then activated as Italy was justifying war against Yugoslavia. My focus finished first, Yugo did not give me Slovenia, so war ensued and Yugo did not stand a chance. But the Ljubljana award is no longer available anyway. I am confused as to the pre-requisites using the mouse tool tip because is implies that Germany has to own all of the Yugo States, and I do. Without the Ljubljana Award, bringing HUngary on board will be difficult (I protected Romanian lands with the 2nd Vienna Award, which appraently angers Hungary to the point where they do not join the Axis). Somewhere, this Demand Slovenia focus needs more definition, it seems.

It's because if in the London award(Slovenia focus) Yugo says no, you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and that focus tree line is already blocked, the same would ahppen with Greece, but you atleast already had Yugoslavia

This is a timing thing as I successfully got through the Demand Slovenia and Yugo gave the province to me. This took place in late 1938 while at Peace. However, I no longer see the need for the Ljubljana Award since now both Hungary and Bulgaria have joined the Axis (2nd Vienna Award). that focus remains available as of Aug 1939 as I prepare for Poland. We shall see as time moves on, but as it stands right now, i see no purpose for the Ljubljana Award since brekaing up Yugo as gifts might not be my intent. Thanks. At least taking Slovenia stops (the AI) Italy from trying to invade Yugo.
