It's been a while since I've downloaded the Original Recon RPG from Palladium's website here. I've been looking at it again for some good Merc adventure seeds.
It's originally a Vietnam war RPG where the PCs play as a Recon team in the jungles of 'Nam, but there's also a section where the PCs can play as Mercs. It has stuff on how to get recruited, the contract and expenses plus a few interesting adventure seeds.
Example (I hope I'm not breaking any rules here):
Hearts and Minds.
The government of Sangria cannot defend all of the outlying villages. As a pilot project, it has hired you to help organize the village defense forces of a small rural village. You must clear the jungle, build fortifications, organize the militia, and win over the loyalty of these people whose only contact with the central government previously has been the greedy tax collectors who rob them of most of their crop (what they don't hide). As a pilot project, you can be expected to be a major target for the guerrillas.
Short People.
The Mindanisian natives are the most experienced jungle fighters in this part of the world. It is your mission to win their loyalty and lead them against the guerrillas invading San Succi.
Most of the adventure seeds seem to fit with all those balkanized worlds where there is tension between the various states. It'll be like all those cheesy 80's ex-commando merc movies... at TL 10.
