At least earlier on there was the see saw of Austrian invasion, fumbling, and retreat. Battle of Cer and all that.

Ok so I have to tell you the Balkan front when it gets to Salonika, was very static. Alled forces had problems with malaria if I recall correctly.

Some of the other responses here have confused Balkan front for Eastern Front where the warfare was somewhat more dynamic due to the size of the front and some geologic restrictions that prevented trench fortresses like were found on the western front.
