I had an idea for an interesting encounter (don't know if I'll be using it in my campaign now).
It was an American (Or NATO, your pick) artillery unit, stationed on a fairly large hill. Their commanding officer has been killed in a firefight with Pact forces, but they've been able to hold onto the hill due to having the upper hand and superior defenses.
But their commanding officer's last words were "Kill all the Commies" or something to that effect, and they think they're surrounded, so they're launching all their ammo in every direction they can, thinking they're holding back a superior pact force.
If the PCs can survive their barrage, and can convince the artillery crew to help them, they can have a powerful (but sporadic) 'umbrella' of protection in that area.
