Which issue of Challenge is this in? I'm going to have a read and work out how to incorporate it into my campaign story arc.

Black Siberia is in Challenge issue 51, page six.

I can't remember if I've posted it before but I've created a list of the T2K/Merc 2000 articles from Challenge issues 51 onwards (to compliment the complete index in Challenge issue 50). The list has the article titles, issue numbers they are contained in and page numbers. I've written descriptions for about half of them but if there is sufficient interest I'll complete all the descriptions and post the list here.

Thanks.

And I'd certainly be interested in that list.

Glad to be of service. Some adaptations for other locales might be huts instead of tents for POW quarters, other types of forced labor (a quarry, perhaps, or maybe road repair, along with salvage work), etc. You might have a North Vietnamese style prison (cells instead of huts or tents, maybe a former interrogation center), things like that.

Several guards didn't have court-martials. They were disposed of more summarily by the now ex-prisoners. Along with the trusties.

I'll try to remember to post what I've done so far.

Not yet, but someday I want to. Something like it might feature in one of my convention sessions some year.

Funny you mentioned the benefits (for both sides) of your group staying a couple of weeks in a friendly village. In most T2K campaigns I've been involved in, friendly villages' security generally improves greatly when PCs' groups stay a while.

This is something I think could make a great campaign on its own-- PC group decides to settle in some spot, secure it, and make a home. Beyond Molly Warren and B Troop in Black Madonna, it's kind of been in the back of my mind since my second-ever campaign of T2k, when a player told me he'd dreamed of the game. The group overnighted at a shack in the woods inhabited by a widow and in the morning his PC said, "No, I'm staying here." and then the player woke up mumbling just that.
