taken from wikipedia How about a Lithuanian partisan vs Russia in 41?

After realizing the reality of repressive and brutal Soviet rule, in the early morning of June 22, 1941 (the first day when the Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union) Lithuanians began the June Uprising, organized by the Lithuanian Activist Front, in Kaunas where its main forces were concentrated. The uprising soon expanded to Vilnius and other locations. Its main goal was not to fight with the Soviets, but to secure the city from inside (secure organizations, institutions, enterprises) and declare independence. By the evening of June 22, the Lithuanians controlled the Presidential Palace, post office, telephone and telegraph, and radio station. The control of Vilnius and most of the Lithuania's territory was also shortly taken over by the rebels.[61]

Perhaps an SSR where the presidential/loyalist forces may somehow convert to the other side during play? Would be an interesting twist if that squad you set up in a perfect blocking location suddenly defected and was in your rear.

From the Wikipedia article:
The uprising began in early morning of June 22, 1941, the first day of the war. The main forces of the LAF were concentrated in Kaunas. At 10 am LAF held a meeting in Žaliakalnis, dividing the responsibilities. It was decided that the main goal is not to fight with the Russians, but to secure the city from inside (secure organizations, institutions, enterprises) and declare independence.[50]
Gotta love a tightly-prioritized agenda :) "Do we fight the Commies?" "Nah, let's finalize those flag designs"

I kid. Reading the article with respect, knowing these are Jazbutis' people, and they are Not To Be Messed With.
