I've never run this but one idea for a campaign starting point I've considered is for the PCs to be an advisor team working with a partisan unit deep behind enemy lines. You can then either run scenarios with them working alongside the partisan unit attacking enemy forces or have them leave the partisan unit for some reason (e.g. the partisans are destroyed or break up when their charismatic leader is killed, the partisans become bandits, the PCs receive orders somehow to travel somewhere else, the PCs decide that they just want to go home, etc).
Essentially it opens up a situation where the PCs are resource poor and probably constructing their own objectives.
It also opens up the possibility for Special Forces PCs if you have players insisting on that kind of character.
