Glogow

A large industrial town before the war, Glogow was occupied by NATO forces as a supply base for the NATO thrust into south-central Poland, and has remained occupied even since the collapse of the NATO front. The town is governed by a town council that owes allegiance to the Free Polish government in Rzeszow, but the true power in the town are the three hundred Dutch and American NATO soldiers who are stationed here. A Dutch unit was left to guard a local supply dump and the relative security of the town attracted NATO stragglers and even a few deserters. Generally things have been harmonious between the soldiers and the local population until recently, when the self-proclaimed Duke of Lubin. The Duke has realised that the supply dump is still largely intact, including a substantial supply of military gasoline and spare parts for armoured vehicles. The Duke has presented the town with an ultimatum to turn this over to him or face war. His soldiers have already begun harassing raids on the outskirts of the town. Substantial friction is building between the soldiers, who want to retain the supplies in case they are able to link up with larger NATO forces, and the locals, who have little use for such equipment and are willing to buy off the Duke's aggression at what they see as a small price. The constant harassment from the Duke's men has made the locals hesitant to admit unknown armed groups.
