To me  the Attrition Option is a perfect protection against the Yugo/Norway

Well it does tend to "explain" in wargamers terms why you just don't go on  
"the Grand European tour". You do it in the classic game "simply because you  
can", i.e. there is no real downside, except time, and what is the issue there  
when your units are simply sitting there doing nothing?
 
The Yugoslavian adventure is more than just time, the Panzers need  
maintenance and refit time after it, so it is a potential brake on operations if  you 
consider Barbarossa, and can have that key effect that skews what you do in  
Russia. Coupled with the Kiev diversion, the extra mileage on your machines does 
 have an effect, as in fact many say was a key issue in real life.
