Here is one of the strongpoints I was talking about. It is actually a plaster 1/35 scale HMG bunker made by Verlinden but in the scale we play (1/48) it looks to be perfect to hold a small OP of 5 guys or so. The bunker originally had a large round parapet where troops would fire from but I am making it a mount for some weird war weapons. This weapon is a wave cannon by Armorcast. The minis are Artizan Design minis in cold weather gear.

The back side of it. I'll cover up the door to the parapet but leave the other one for the crew.

Here is the outpost with the top off so you can see the innards. The weapon on the parapet is a rail-gun done by Armorcast.

Now since the Allies will be hitting the ice to take on these bases, I though a mobile hospital would be needed because the arctic ain't kind to the wounded or the treating of the wounded so a couple heliborne MASH units dropped just behind the front should help those Popsicle GIs to warm up and get patched up. These are some kind of building-thing from the AT-Whatever CMG I got for noting on eBay. The minis are Artizan Designs GIs in cold weather kit. Might be a cool mission to have a small MASH camp being overrun by those evil Ratzis and the Docs, nurses and wounded gotta fend them off. Its Radar to the rescue!
Hope it gave ya some ideas,

If you pal has another U-Boat laying around I'd be happy to take it off his hands for him. ;)
