• The PC unit meets with Oskar and Matt on the Vistula, along with a man known as Damien, the River Pimp.
  1st Engagement on the Vistula
  
• From there, they almost immediately get into an engagement with a chasing soviet force. Ethan Creswick dies almost immediately from a sniper shot while he's in the M113. Damien takes his pleasure boat and sails away. The team kills roughly 15 soviets and 2 BMPs.
  
• Matt Doyle quickly decides not to continue with the party and heads to Gdansk on his own, and out of the party
  
• The team attempts to cross the river at a bridge, and welcome a new party member (William Hicks).
  
• After an inspection post-battle, it appears as though the trailer and still are a total loss.
  
• After a confrontation with some local forces the team decides not to cross the river via bridge, and prepare to and successfully ford the river.
  2nd Engagement on the Vistula
  
• Upon reaching the other side, the team comes under attack from an Mi-24 Hind. The team then shoots down the hind using the Bradley and welcome a new player, Jan Krejcik, an eccentric Czech Hind pilot.
  
• The group continues moving to the east of Mikoszewo and sees a Humvee parked next to an old stone house. Upon investigation, the house is filled with some American soldiers, being lead by a “Sgt.” Cutter with a few other Americans, one of which is critically wounded. It's noted that "Sergeant" Cutter only has Corporal's stripes, and the group seems a little suspicious.
  
• Turns out Cutter's team was rogue, and were raiding the nearby town (Mikoszewo).
  Engagement outside Mikoszewo
  
• PC Team takes action, and kills one of “Sergeant” Cutter’s men and capture the others. Turns out that Cutter's men had a girl tied to a bed upstairs. The team rescues her (Jan specifically rescues her), and salvages the worn Humvee for their own use.
  
• They then decide to head to Gdansk. They head to the ferry at Mikoszewo and cross the Vistula, under the ferry captain named Gustaw. On the way they return the girl and turn over the prisoners to the local authorities at Swibno. They also brought with them the critically wounded soldier, Anderson, hoping to find treatment for him in Gdansk.
