I considered it. It's not a bad suggestion and I may end up following it. There's a bit of an issue regarding coherence with canon, though. Going Home has 1st Polish Free Legion in two spots. The entry on 2nd PFL says Sikorski went south to find the 1st PFL near Poznan. There's a separate entry on the 1st PFL that puts it north of 2nd PFL in Lezno. It's probably a clerical error because the 1st PFL entry mentions Poznan as well.

EDIT: Well, rcaf 777, it looks like I made a mistake with my map, and you helped me spot it. I mistook Lezno (near Gdansk) for Leszno, which is about 200m SSW of the former.

That places the 1st PFL quite a ways outside the region in which my module takes place. That said, there's no reason that the PCs couldn't run into Sikorski and his American SF advisor making their way towards Leszno. I'll see what I can put together.

EDIT: Here's the entry on Sikorski's partisans.

Major M. K. Sikorski, former Commander 2nd Polish Free Legion (50 irregular guerillas)

NPC Motivation:

Sikorski is the former commander of the 2nd Polish PFL and an ardent supporter of the pro-western Polish Free Congress government currently based out of Pila, Poland. About a year prior to the events of Rook's Gambit, Sikorski was ousted by his second in command, Major W. Anders (formerly, Captain Anders), barely escaping the palace coup usurping his command with his hide intact. He and about 50 loyal partisans are living off the land as they slowly make their way south to join up with 1st Polish Free Legion in Leszno, Poland. Sikorski is accompanied by the last surviving member of an American Special Forces A-Team sent to advise and support the 2nd PFL, Communications Sergeant Donald Farmer. Due to technical difficulties, Sikorski and his men are no longer in regular communications with NATO or the PFL. Sikorski's partisans are lightly equipped with small arms (assault rifles, light machineguns, and RPGs). Their heaviest support weapon is a 60mm mortar.

Referee's Notes: Major Sikorski isn't particularly interested in helping the PCs take the MADM from Chilikov. He is, however, very interested in taking back command of the 2nd PFL, and will assist the PCs in any attempt to remove Major Anders from power. If Anders has somehow obtained the MADM, Sikorski can be a valuable ally. He will not attempt to seize control of the MADM for himself, but will insist that it be turned over to the Polish Free Congress in Pila. If the PCs refuse to do so, Sikorski will deny them his support.
