I completely concur. I’ve been working for a while on a concept for a campaign set about eighteen months after OMEGA. In short, PC's are all veterans of the European campaign who have been engaged in anti marauder operations since their return from Europe. The Military Government now feels that the situation in the north eastern United States is stable enough to allow it to undertake a partialdemobilisation, code named Operation EXODUS (thus alleviating stresses on the military supply chain, particularly when it comes to feeding large numbers of troops).
The key points of EXODUS are
Demobilised troops will be subject to mandatory enlistment in the appropriate State Guard / Militia, and as such are subject to being called up to active duty at any time
Demobilised troops will be allocated a Land Grant in the form of a piece of farmland
Recognising that those who have fought together may wish to remain together, demobilised troops may team up with others to form small groups
The idea is to set the PC’s up as one of those groups in somewhere like Pennsylvania or Ohio. It absolutely will not work with the drought that’s posited in canon but I think it has the potential to be a fun and interesting set up to play, which to me is the crucial thing so I’m ignoring the drought.
