eightroomofelixir -> Regrading the Bulgarian territory/borders before WWI (11/17/2019 6:28:32 AM)

I have been reading the AAR threads and really enjoyed the game.
Then, Judging from the screenshots in the AAR threads, I noticed that in the game, the coastal area east of the Greek city of Kavalla (although I think the proper name is Kavala) alone the Aegean Sea, known as the "Western Thrace" IRL, is part of the in-game Greek territory, which blocks the Bulgarian access to the Aegean Sea.
However, although Bulgaria was defeated in the Second Balkan War, they did gain Western Thrace under the terms of the Treaty of Bucharest, in 1913.
As in IRL 1914, this coastal area is part of Bulgaria, with an underdeveloped port city named Dedeağaç.
Also, later when Bulgaria entered the war in 1916, they used the Western Thrace as the bridgehead for invading Greece: The Bulgarian 10th Aegean Division was deployed in the Western Thrace, and took Kavala soon after. (The loss of Kavala also triggered the establishment of Provisional Government of National Defence in Greece)
TLDR I think according to the Treaty of Bucharest (1913), the in-game Greek territory east of Kavala should actually belong to Bulgaria, and should have Bulgarian troops in it when Bulgaria joins the Central Powers.
