Serbia '14

The notes explain what the Chetniks historically did, but the reason why I feel they are overpowered is that in the game they tend to project their Deception effect "through" the frontline. They're not guerrilla units hidden in the hills, but placed near the frontline.

In the 1st Invasion, I don't have a lot of trouble with nullifying Chetniks, but that's also due to the good weather making it easy to move units around. As Elxaime noted, the weather is a serious handicap (for both sides) in the 4th Invasion.

In the 4th Invasion, there are lots of Chetniks and if you want to cover all of them through Patrolling , you could potentially have several divisions worth of battalions Patrolling. That means they're not recovering Fatigue or Men and in difficult terrain might only be able to move 1 hex when moving, as "recalling the patrols" consumes MP's.

As you can't be entirely sure whether you're covering the Chetniks causing Disruptions when you set units to Patrolling, you might also "overcommit" to Patrolling.

Central Powers cavalry is a tempting assault target when deployed and a bullet magnet when in T-mode, which makes it less ideal to switch them to Patrolling without infantry support in the same hex.

The 4th Invasion might be the only scenario where Chetnik numbers are so great that issues can, over time, appear, I'd have to play more scenarios to judge that.
