The authors (and fans!) provided a lot of different stuff to do just that. Your right - not all of it will fit into on ongoing campaign.

Perfect territory for four-hour one shot convention stories Ive been building.

A good friend of mine just ran a T2k story where the Soviets used a very exotic kind of biological weapon that created zombies. It turned into a good time and a huge laugh towards the end.

I never ran this one: as mentioned, it came out after my group had already left Europe. I have re-read it, and I remember having to work really hard to parse out what the planned sequence of events are between the 27th (NATO) division and the Red Bear's army, and how or why the PCs are brought into it, or supposed to care.

To my mind, this would have been a much better module to run in the winter of 1999-2000, before the NATO last gasp. That way, NATO could be running agents/advisors to the Ukrainians, in hopes of neutralizing the Red Bear lest he and his army become a problem to the offensive. (Of course, once the PCs and their handlers become aware that the Bear is going rogue, it opens up another can of worms.)

We played it as a stand alone using new characters we rolled up as former US and British POW's who were part of the 27th and sent ahead to try to spring more POW's.

The GM had to come up with the POW camp, how big it was and how many were in it because while mentioned in the game, it wasnt described.

Not sure if others developed the camp - the way it was played by our GM it was a large facility with over 500 POW's of various types, most who were trained techs of various kinds who were being used on repair work and engineering projects.

We managed to make contact with the resistance and hit the camp and got most of them out, then caused a heck of a lot of trouble in Lvov - so much that when the 27th broke thru the pass the Bear's men were too busy dealing with us and they broke thru to the city.

Only four of the characters made it thru the whole thing but it was fun.
