What was the plot-arc of Return to Europe?

Exactly. They were essentially dressed up reissues of the original Poland modules for the "new" v2.0 edition of T2K.

I see them as attempt to rewrite certain parts as they upgraded to v2. On the other hand, one could play these modules in almost any order with a creative GM. Especially if the group didn't go through the Going Home and it Operation Omega, or if the Operation was delayed like year or two.

Would any of you guys see a feasibility to "Okay, boys, we've tidied up at home, secured the Mexican border, sent those Cubans and Sovs packing, time to return the favor in Europe for the big win"

I can't, I mean, not terribly realistically so, but what are y'all's thoughts?

Going back in force? No. Sending back small groups of irregular operators with personal ties to foreign leadership, with missions supporting mid- to long-term political goals? Sounds like a job for PCs...

Absolutey not.

In my opinion (others may vary!), I think it would take a number of years (perhaps even decades!) before the situation inside the US was deemed stable enough to consider sending troops overseas.

The only exception I could see might be to reinforce CENTCOM to protect potential oil supplies. And of course special forces missions by small groups of less than a dozen men (e.g. Operation Prometheus in Mediterranean Cruise).

I'm right with you on this one. Not going to happen for decades excet for individual small groups on specific missions.

I think a more plausible- if not quite as catchy- title for the series should have been "Stayed in Europe".

Except that the Return To Europe series were written for 1st edition with the likely connection being the Last Sub series taking the PCs from the USA back to Europe.
Perhaps you are thinking of the Rendezvous In Krakow module which most definitely was The Free City Of Krakow written up for 2nd edition.
