Two bits to throw in here. Two weeks ago, I was at a con, and discussing Eastern Europe. One guy told about his grandfather, who had been in the Austro-Hungarian army in WW1, somewhere out in Ukraina when everything collapsed in the summer of 1918. His unit, reduced by desertion, marched a lot, and then wintered over in some peasant village. They had been lugging a heavy MG all this time, at the captain's insistence. While there, they fought off numerous bandit, Red, White, Green attempts to forage the peasants' food stocks. The village elders pleaded with them to stick around as long as they wanted, but the guys all wanted to get back to their own homeland(s).
The lesson the narrator learned is that if one man has food, and another has a gun, the man with the gun will not go hungry.

I'm pretty sure I've told this before, but one of my players was pretty freaked out about a dream he had when I ran the Polish modules at Allegheny. He dreamed he was his character, and the party overnighted with a Polish widow and her kids in a shack. In the morning, the party was getting ready to leave, and he heard himself saying, "No, I'm staying here," which woke him up. He couldn't remember if the widow looked like his then-girlfriend, but I suspect she might have.
So, no I haven't run that (yet), but I think it could have plenty of possibilities. I still want to run Twilight:1918, for that matter.
