1. The party's superiors are alerted to an intercepted communication which says that an OPFOR command vehicle has gotten seperated from its convoy during the night and may have broken down. As the patrol nearest to where the vehicle was last spotted, the party is sent to scout for it.
When they come across it, they're just in time to see two Karnovs. The first one has the crew of the vehicle on board and is fleeing as fast as possible. The other Karnov detatches its connection to the vehicle and likewise flees. Before the party can truly engage the Karnovs, they are told to instead guard the vehicle.
In reality, it's all a trap. The minute any of the doors to the command bay are opened, the entire vehicle blows up; those within a one BTech hex radius of the vehicle when it blows must make a Build Check of 12 or risk being killed outright. To make matters worse, the blast is also the signal for two squads of hidden battle armor to engage any survivors.
2. The players are to escort a convoy through an area that just recently had a snow storm. Enough snow is now on the map so that the snow rules apply.
What the party doesn't know is that a squad of commandos is watching the convoy from a nearby cliff and using the snow as cover. As soon as the lead unit in the convoy makes it to the halfway point on the map, they'll call in artillery to bombard the convoy. The bombardment will continue until either the squad is killed, the convoy is destroyed, or the convoy exits the map on one side or another.

The first one is just evil. I like it. Looks at Oafman meaningfully.

3. For this one, the party is out to eat at a civilian dining facility where a number of other soldiers from their unit often go. If they're in uniform, then during the course of their meal some of the civilian diners (who were there before the players) will notice the uniforms, and begin lecturing and otherwise annoying the party.
In reality, the diners are members of an anti-war organization; this incident is actually a trap. Another member of their organization has seeded a story among one of the local news outlets about military brutality to civilians, and a reporter has come along to secretly record what occurs.

If you really want to stick it to the players, make sure alcohol is involved in some way. If the players partake, well then the Evil Troopers gont drunk and trashed an establishment full of civilians. If the civies are drinking, then the Evil Troopers bullied a bunch of helpless, inebriated civilians.
Hey, I used to Game Master for a Paranoia campaign. I figured out lots of ways to really shaft the players.

Just another variation on the classic and overplayed "bar fight".
