I think that would be a neat campaign, too. A variant would have the PCs (and some NPCs) assigned by HQ an area to settle and pacify. Sort of the rural equivalent of "Armies of the night." Could be in the US or might happen by player choice, if the PCs decide to quit roaming and just settle in a friendly town in Poland or Germany.
A wargamer I once played with told me about his grandfather-in-law, who had been in an Austro-Hungarian MG unit that retreated across Ukraine or Carpathia in 1918. They wintered over in some village, which begged them to stay when spring came. Their MGs kept away the Bolsheviks, Whites, marauders and other tax collectors!
