Pechenga Push: NATO’s Gamble in the Arctic War
The war in Scandinavia is dragging on, and NATO commanders need a bold move to relieve pressure on the frontlines. Their solution? A high-risk incursion into Russian territory to divert enemy forces and disrupt their supply lines.
The town of Pechenga, near the Russo-Finnish border, becomes the focal point. Controlling it would challenge Moscow’s dominance in the Arctic, but the risks are immense—subzero temperatures, treacherous terrain, and Russian airborne forces mobilizing to defend at all costs.
💥 Who will seize Pechenga? Join the fight and decide the outcome.

Nordic Milsim – A True Military Simulation Experience
Nordic Milsim events are not casual airsoft games; they are military simulations (Milsim) designed to replicate real-world military operations. Participants must commit to team-based play, structured command hierarchies, and full immersion in the scenario.

📌 Key gameplay structure
– Orders & military structure: You will play as part of a unit, following military-style orders. Roles are assigned, and a clear command structure must be respected.
– Mission Execution: Missions are assigned through the chain of command. HQ gives orders to Platoon Sergeants (crew), who ensure missions are delivered to Platoon Leaders and squads.
– Dynamic Gameplay: While some missions are pre-planned, others evolve based on the battlefield situation. Adaptability and teamwork are key.
– Realism & Logistics: Expect limited ammo, medevac rules, and strict engagement mechanics. No casual respawns or unlimited resources.
– Team-Based Play: This is not a game for lone wolves. Success relies on your ability to work within a squad.

Questions & Answers
💬 How do we receive missions during the game?
Each platoon has a Platoon Sergeant (crew) who receives orders from HQ and ensures the Platoon Leader gets the necessary objectives. It’s up to the Platoon Leader and the unit to execute the mission.
💬 When do we find out which unit we belong to?
The unit assignments are planned 3–12 weeks before the event. While player preferences willl be considered, the primary goal is to have balanced and functional squads. For example, full squads will be prioritized over keeping each airsoft team as a separate unit.
💬 How do I find my unit upon arrival?
During check-in, you will be directed to your assigned unit. If unsure where to go, ask your Platoon Sergeant (crew) for guidance.
During the game, the primary way of identification is weapon systems and camouflage. Armbands or similar can be used if it brings a tactical advantage (decided by platoon leader). HQ may also convey passwords (a challenge-respone system) to be used in the field.
💬 What happens if the chain of command breaks down?
If leadership collapses, follow the last known mission objectives. Platoon Sergeants and HQ staff will work to restore order. If in doubt, prioritize mission success and team coordination.
