The 16th Mechanised Battalion

The 16th Mechanised Battalion is a loyal battalion associated with the 16th Mechanised Division, posted to defend the city of Boleslawiec in western Poland. The battalion was sent on a long range reconnaissance-in-force mission to the north-east to clear out Marauder forces between Boleslawiec and Lodz, but the unit discovered a well preserved farm and decided to bivouac there over the winter. They are unaware of the siege. The Colonel in command of Boleslawiec could use the unit's forces as well as the supplies they have accumulated, and will offer 2000 shells or equivalent in goods to anybody who can bring the unit back.

The unit is located at SilesiaP22, but it will require a PERSUASION check, opposed by their commanding officer, to get them to agree to return to Boleslawiec - they are comfortable and are suspicious that this is some kind of ruse. The PERSUASION check will be at -1 if it comes from somebody affiliated with a group that would normally be considered hostile to the Polish People's Republic (eg. Free Poland or NATO).
