Hi all !
I'm still preparing the stuff for my solo campaign.
Let me present you my vision of the global situation at the beginning of the game.
The PCs wil start the adventure in the blue area, in the end of september. The group will be a mix of soldiers and civilians (I'll present them later).
Their first goal will be to find a safe area and to settle in before the end of october in order to face winter (it's coming, as you all know
).
But they are not alone...
Soviet forces :
Settled in some key areas (red zones), soviet forces are trying to control the main crossroads and bridges of the area.
They conduct patrols in the vincinity of their camps, in the red dotted lines areas.
Outside these zones, they perform some long range reccon patrols, hunting NATO forces, polish resistance organisations or fighting marauders who recklessly and decided to confront them.
Finally, they try to maintain control on rural communities all around the Poland in order to guarantee food supply and to secure their convoys.
Polish forces :
Polish forces are controling the green areas.
They perform some reccon patrols in the green dotted lines and, sometimes, they confront with soviet forces or marauders.
They try to support polish civilians who are settled outside their controled areas.
The following groups are operating in the greys areas between red and green zones.
NATO forces :
Leftovers of the NATO forces are scattered all around the Poland.
There's no more organized units, just groups of soldiers, more or less equiped but without any logistical support or supply.
Hunted by soviet forces, confronted to marauders or local militias, they do their best to survive locally, or to return to safe areas like zones controled by NATO or polish forces.
ODA 146 - Yankee rangers :
This unit was presented in the blacksheep journal #1 (

This small team of specforces operator is operating in Poland, according to the jeddburgs legacy they trained local militias in order to conduct a guerrilla operations against the soviet forces.
The PC could get in touch with some groups linked to the Yankee rangers.
The Armia Krajowa (AK) :
This organisation is fighting against the soviet occupation of Poland (

Members of AK don't welcome the foreigners and might turn against NATO forces.
Marauders, local militias and civilian communities :
They are unmissable and they are all around the area, even in the areas which are under soviet control.
Well, that's all folks !
Next time, I'll talk about my bunch of survivors.
