The adventure I ran at Gengis Con might be of interest to you. The setting was eastern Germany and the heroes are facing down a large Russian force bent on taking a bridge crossing the Elbe river at Torgau. The NATO command is preparing to defend Torgau and the heroes are assigned a spot on the west bank of the Elbe. While preparing, the heroes encounter a group of nuns that run an orphanage for blind children. They also meet some of the local color interested in stealing thier vehicle, and failing that get an offer to recover hidden cases of schnapps from an abandoned monestary. In the end, the heroes learn that the defense of Torgau was actually a ruse to get the Russians to mass for an assault and make themselves a target for a tactical nuke, which the heroes now get to run for thier lives from. Oh yeah, the heroes have to decide between rescuing the nuns and blind orphans and risking thier own wealth and safety.
