As far as i undetstand it is deeply rooted in game nechanincs but i think it is really bad that East and West Entente cannot cooparete closer - meaning that they cannot combine their units at certain frnts and drag supplies from the same source or share information.
I tottaly understand the need to ballance the game by dividing comand over ententę as it would leave central power hoples

but

lack of possibility for combining greek and serbian troops or createing salonika as a base for serbs is both ahistorical and ilogical
russin troops were send to france, serbian troops were being requpped with the french help

perhaps there coudd be some possibility to delegate troops from one enetenete to another?

or et least share decide that evrything that goeas to balkans is comanded by Eastern Enetne?

Maybe. I like that two players need to work together. They can combine, but with dialogue and effort.

So it is not possible for say the French to land in Serbia and help defend against the Austrians?

I don't believe so, as they don't have the same supplies (they are different factions, and are I believe technically "neutral" towards each other).

So if I landed in say Split then and used that as a bas and expanded the French/British beach head that would work. They just couldn't cross into each others provinces. Not ideal but might work.

ya - sounds like an engine limitation or to stop gamey moves in a MP game.

As the WE, you get the remaining Serbs when the EE surrenders. I now control them in a PBEM game which is in 1917.
