The crew is excited and busy with preparations — and we hope you are too!
Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen more than 30 new players join in. Based on statistics from previous years, we can still expect around 100 or more players to register before the game begins. Including hidden player numbers, we’re well on our way to reaching — or even surpassing — our goal of 700 players this year!
Among the currently registered players, around 100 are coming to Finland from 12 different countries. It’s great to see this number grow each year!
We’re still specifically looking for players to fill the following roles:
If any of these roles interest you or you have questions, feel free to contact us at our Discord-server and we’ll point you into the right direction.
Leo Soikkeli, commander of the Northern Royal Guard, is looking for new HQ officers to join his team. If you’re interested in gathering intelligence on enemy movements, maintaining an up-to-date battlefield overview, and helping coordinate subordinate units either from the HQ tent or directly in the field — this is your opportunity!
No prior experience is required — just a willingness to learn and participate.
As a member of the HQ staff, you’ll benefit from:
If you have a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or any other useful equipment you can bring along, that’s a great plus — but not mandatory.
Interested? Contact @lexxu2 on Discord or email leo.enQ@gmail.com to join the HQ team!
The Battlegroup 2025 Anniversary sleeve patch, Battlegroup 2025 event patch and the official Battlegroup T-shirt have been put into production. In addition, we made a K9 Ehasa sleeve patch upon request.
There are limited numbers of T-shirts available, so if you have not selected one when registering, you can still add it by contacting us at info@ehasa.org
Leo “Lexxu” Soikkeli again putting on the yellow commanderpants and steps in to lead the brave troops of NRG on the battlefield of Halli. The Royal Guard has already driven away the violent oppressors of the area once, and I intend to do everything in my power to ensure that Nordberg will not be deprived of his freedom in the future. I accept my position with honor and the responsibility of the position and the Royal Guard will show the people of Nordberg the patriotism while defending it.
Our philosophy is simple: We will fight to the last man for the Nordberg people and the freedom. We will not give way!

We are currently looking vehicles for transport duties in the helicopter fleet. We are primarily looking for vehicles, that can safely transport as many fighters as possible. For example, off-road trucks used by the army, or larger vans. The event is free for the driver of the vehicle, and includes 4 food vouchers worth of 15€ for Ehasa’s partners during the event. Fuel costs remain with the driver of the vehicle, as it is a recreational event.
If you want to have a slightly more relaxed event, but still want to get in the mood of the airsoft hobby, then this one is good option. For example, this would also be a good opportunity to take your own retired military off-road truck out for a walk, which is nowaday your current hobby vehicle.
As mentioned above: “primarily vehicles that can safely transport as many fighters as possible”. Helicopters will primarily be used to move infantry to the field, and to bring dropped/care returning players off the field, when returning to the base. After all this is a very important task in terms of the whole section’s performance, which is emphasized a lot especially when it comes to infantry operations.
Since it is a hobby event based on completely voluntary activity, no one is forced to do anything. For this reason, the aim is to organize and agree on matters related to transportation directly between the battalion command and the drivers during the event.
Hello everyone, and happy new starting year! I’m Ari Salonen, and I’ll be the battalion commander of the Nordberg coalition in the upcoming Battlegroup 2025 event. I have participated in the events of the Battlegroup game series for several years already and played in various tasks related to both playing and management of playing section. The latest role I had was a battalion commander of the Nordberg’s coalition in Battlegroup 2024 event.
Airsoft as hobby has been around for a long time, active and less active time for 15 years. I am 31 years old now, and the life situation has changed a little in that time as far as the time spent on hobbies is concerned. That’s why I focus on bigger games these days.
I summed up my own philosophy in my previous introduction as follows: “In my new responsible role, I don’t consider the number one goal to be “winning”, but that everyone gets the best possible gaming experience from this event!”. The reason why this is because we are all breaking away from everyday life when we hobby something.
Let’s have fun together at the upcoming Battlegroup 2025 – event!
One state, one nation and an unbreakable coalition!
– Ari Salonen

The event was held on July 24-27, 2024 in a Halli training area in Finland.
BATTLEGROUP 24 was attended by around 650 people. The event took place in Nordberg. 
Northern Iron Rule ruled the country until the 2020s. Then a civil war broke out, during which rebel groups called the 
Northern Royal Guard and the 
Coalition of Nordberg rose against the regime, which succeeded in overthrowing it. After which the war broke out again over who should lead the Norberg country.

Welcome to Battlegroup 2025 website! Battlegroup 2025 will be our 10th Battlegroup event and we aim it would be best Battlegroup so far (as we always do)!
Here are listed all the changes you should be aware of if you have played before in our events as there are again some small and some larger changes which we hope will make the game flow better and your experience amazing.
We have added a new “Helicopter squadron” for both fighting factions. We hope that this group can help the infantry to move on the large game area with their vehicles. Our own game master resources are insufficient to transport players during the game-on phase. We just don’t have enough own personnel+volunteer helpers.
With civilian factions we have now emphasized that either you join or create one civilian subfaction which will communicate with game masters prehand in order to get that subfaction as core part of the event. Other option is to just come and be “normal civilian”, where you are responsible of yourself without game masters special focus on you.
At the moment we are recruiting new civilians members (and also leaders) to following subfactions:
The story continues in country of Nordberg where Coalition of Nordberg and Northern Royal Guard forces are still engaged in battles of Halli. Northern Iron Rule forces presence has moved more to neighboring countries but their threat is still present. Different civilian factions are trying to survive in middle of this war with their own intentions.
We will try to keep main missions and side missions separated and clearer from each other in order to keep them more easily understandable to common player. But rarely life is simple and some missions might have interfaces with each other just like different groups of people usually have interfaces with each other.
We will continue using our new QR codes/internet links with props. You will see the “public” props info also at status.ehasa.org “items” -tab and the “secret” props info only with using the QR code/internet link.
Best way to keep up to date with the missions is reading status.ehasa.org “missions” -tab and “items” -tab. And best way to keep up to date with story happenings is reading tstosnews.ehasa.org news site (already before the event even starts). Usually also talking with your superior leader helps to get more info about things around you. We recommend groups (ex. platoons) to have selected person, whose job is to follow and communicate these things to other group members during the busy fighting days. This leaves group leaders more time to think about tactical and maintenance related problems.
Both main faction bases will be more at the north part of the game area. We will reveal more exact locations later.
Civilian village/main civilian objective will be more in middle of the whole map.
Only limited offgame road routes will be allowed to be used when players are ingame in order to allow better flow of movement. We will mark these allowed roads to the official map and Status Ehasa maps.
We will add fixed infantry and vehicle respawn points around other parts of the game area in order to help players use all of the large game area. These locations we can even change during the event if we see a need for it. We will also add more capture points (infantry respawns) in the field and will let players know their locations better (less hidden flags overall).
We will try to rent the southern tube sauna again for everyone to use and also still have tent saunas at main bases.
Pregame and registration is open at the check-in area on Tuesday 22.7. from 19:00 to 22:00. We expect our partners and food services to come once again on site during Tuesday afternoon/evening. Like the last time, chrono will be only for HQ staff and our volunteer helpers at Tuesday.
We hope that this year our partner Brgr.In ideas with moving foodtruck won’t get any setbacks like in 2024 event. The other stationary foodtruck will still serve you at the check-in area.
We will continue with the service car idea, but with better communication between game masters – HQ – players of who is allowed to have one and where those vehicles should be kept.
We will go back with increasing the ticket price based on time. The first increase will happen at 1.4.2025.
From now on, purchased ticket is not refundable. If you cannot attend the event, we recommend that you sell your ticket to someone else.
Transferring tickets is allowed as long as the seller or buyer is in contact with the game masters via email at info@ehasa.org. We only need to know the sold tickets ID and new owners name and if an discord account needs to be removed/moved in our closed faction channels. There is a 5 € fee for ticket transfers and it is paid to us with old tickets reference number. We also accept Edenred, Smartum and Epassi (only virtual money, no vouchers) but you can only pay the ticket with it, not product options. The payment is done at the game site with check-in crew instructions and you will have to pay the full ticket price (35€/150€).
People arriving late are subject to 15 € per group who arrive at the same time! (There were few cases, were already paid group members arrived in different times and this we want to avoid.)
We have added some new products for you to preorder at Kuulaportti.
In our “new player” info section we have added a new “BELLUM series” site where we tell about our partner airsoft event BELLUM which is held in Björköby, Sweden!
Ehasa crew took part of BELLUM 2024 and recommends everyone from the Battlegroup event also to try join BELLUM 2025 event.
In order to courage people, both of events offer 20 € discount if you have other’s event ticket also! In our case, just show your BELLUM ticket to the check-in crew in order to receive your discount.
The most important ones and also longest part of this post are the changes with rules as we made biggest rules clearout since our first Battlegroup event.
In big picture we made rules simpler, easier to read (specially vehicle rules) and cut out some unneeded rules or unneeded words. This does not mean that we will not have rules that are only single object/mission specific. Those rules will always be informed separately.
We recommend everyone to read all rules, specially if you are a veteran to our events, but here are listed the most important changes:
See you all in Halli!
