One thing that I have thought of came from one of the small towns outside Krakow. There's a USAF Major being held there after he ejected from his F-16. I think the original module said he'd been there for years, the local government was waiting to hand him over to the Soviets at Lublin.
I felt like altering that-- what if he was shot down early in 2000? Perhaps the last air sortie of USAFE-- what could be so important? I'm thinking he was on an armed recon mission, taking pictures of the Soviet reaction to the summer offensive, and maybe bombing a bridge on the way. Is there some vital information on the photo-pod that might still be on his wrecked jet? (Perhaps that the Red Bear's army is NOT coming west?)
Anyway, going out to get him, and maybe going out to get other stragglers, might be a good op for the local DIA or CIA to send the players on.
I always felt sorry for the pilot-- I think I've run FCoK at least 3 times, and no one's gone to rescue him. So I'm running a game at Origins this year to go get him out.
