I am always making up stories for my missions. I do hate a bland op. It's the actual mission making I am lame at.
I have been thinking recently of something along the lines of Guba escaping from prison with the help of bloody, rock-hearted hostage slaughtering terrorists. He could come back and cause some trouble with an underground Russian terrorist faction in the Maldens until the Americans finally just waste him and his whole operation.
If that doesn't ring well...
Armstrong (from the original campaign) murders Colonel Blake after the war because Blake was an incompetent, arrogant, sweaty scum dog who sent his men to die in ridiculous missions.
Or the head of the Freemasons starts interfering with some war oversees and the black ops have to take him out.
A platoon of ragged soldiers is left behind in Nogova and they fortify the Castle in Trosky to be their camp, and defend it from the entire Russian army until the Americans come back.
The earliest history of the Malden Islands using WWII units.
A pub brawl turns into a full-blown riot in Morton, the police are thrown out, the gang warfare starts in, the army is brought in, and the Ruskies take advantage by attacking and it's every man for himself. Civies v. Nogovan Army v. Russians....
