Battlegroup 2025> News> Commander for the Coalition has been selected

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

If there is something what bothers you, for example:

  • Fighters/Groups without placement
  • Interested in to apply for fighting section’s special tasks (recon/special forces)
  • Interest in participating in non-administrative tasks that assist the command post (maintenance tasks, messengers, etc.)
  • Participating to the helicopter squadron
  • During the event for some reason you can’t play on the field for example, but you still want to help your side’s activities, come to visit in HQ. There is always something to do.

Let’s have fun together at the upcoming Battlegroup 2025- event!

And one more announcement:

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.
