Once upon a time in ...Krakow?
Remember "Once upon a time in america" ?
One of those ideas (a non-military adventure-hook, so to speak) would be centered about a group of war-orphans, living in an occupied postwar-city.
Just change the setting of a "roaring 20´s"-america for the postnuclear germany/poland/(you fit in a place you prefer) and pave the way for a bunch of tough street-urchins. Their rise (and fall?) to a group of criminals.
Maybe they get enough prestige to receive prime-jobs from Gus Stanislavs men. Maybe they kill a greedy Ormo-Guard...
Krakow would be good, cause you have tons of background regarding city-factions.
Missions/activities: starting out with thefts, blackmailing, going to midlevel-smuggling-operations, to highlevel politics and internal assassinations.
Watch the movie (and HBO´s "Deadwood") or play GTA for a while, to get further inspirations.
That might be quite a different campaing. And a challenge to players, since they wont have a gang of trained soldiers around them, from the start.
