Title: Operation Northern Storm
Background: In a fictional near-future scenario, the geopolitical landscape has shifted, leading to heightened tensions between NATO and Eastern forces. As a result, a covert Eastern alliance has launched a surprise uprising in Sweden, aiming to gain control of key strategic locations. The Swedish Armed Forces, joined by NATO and elite units such as the Navy SEALs, form a coalition named Sweforce to counter the invasion. The conflict unfolds in the rugged and diverse terrain of Sweden, presenting a challenging battleground for both sides.
Objective: The primary objective for Sweforce is to repel the invading Eastern forces and regain control of vital Swedish territory. Meanwhile, the Eastern alliance seeks to establish a foothold in Sweden, strategically positioning themselves for future operations.
Factions:
- Sweforce (Swedish Armed Forces and NATO):
- Tasked with defending key objectives and repelling the Eastern forces.
- Diverse units including Swedish infantry, NATO support, and specialized forces like the Navy SEALs.
- Utilize advanced technology, armored vehicles, and air support to counter the enemy.
- Eastern Alliance:
- Comprises a coalition of Eastern forces, including specialized sniper and recon units.
- Aims to secure strategic points and establish control over the region.
- Employs guerrilla tactics, camouflage, and local insurgent support to gain an edge in the conflict.
Scenario:
The conflict erupts in the dense forests and sprawling urban areas of Sweden. Sweforce, aware of the surprise uprising, mobilizes quickly to defend key locations such as communication hubs, military bases, and government facilities. The Eastern alliance, leveraging the element of surprise, launches a multi-front assault, using covert operatives, snipers, and recon teams to infiltrate Sweforce's defensive positions.
The airsoft game features intense firefights in a variety of environments, from urban streets to dense woodlands. Sweforce relies on a combination of traditional military tactics and the expertise of elite units like the Navy SEALs to counter the elusive Eastern forces. The Eastern alliance, on the other hand, uses hit-and-run tactics, sniper ambushes, and guerrilla warfare to disrupt Sweforce's defenses and maintain control over key strategic points.
Players must navigate the challenging terrain, adapt to changing battle conditions, and work collaboratively with their faction to achieve the objectives. The outcome of the airsoft game depends on the strategic decisions, teamwork, and skillful execution of each faction's plan, adding an element of realism and intensity to the conflict in the Swedish uprising war scenario.
Previously
This is what happened 2016. This lays the future for the upcoming conflict.
BRIEFING
NATO pulls out!
Due to heavy losses the United States have announced their immediate withdrawal from the Op Tango conflict zone. This sparked a tidal wave of other NATO countries announcing their withdrawal from the conflict. Norway announced the withdrawal of all conventional troops, but did not specify in regards to so called special forces.
The United Kingdom however announced plans to increase their support in hopes of getting Sweden to join their new free trade and mutual defense initiative after Brexit.
The units the British have announced sending are:
The Royal Green jackets (level3-4)
The Parachute Regiment (mil.ex. 1)
The Special Air Service (mil.ex 2)
EFAF
Are now operating freely behind enemy lines. Completing more than 90% of their missions. Resistance is moderate and manageable for this fraction at the current time. EFAF troops are keeping the lid on, increasing the pressure point for all other operating troops.
SPETSNAZ
A great part of the high success rate is due to assistance from specialized (Spetsnaz) troops taking on recon missions and embedding intelligence for EFAF troops. This made it difficult for opposing troops to reorganize. Constant surveillance on NATO troops pushed them in to a second hand position at all time not giving NATO any breathing room to operate.
NATO
A large organization with lots of leadership possibilities. Unfortunately the state of leadership possibilities fell bind due to a large amount of fire fights that had to be dealt with in first hand. The organization fell apart in to smaller fractions performing defensive warfare on team level. The final blow came politically with the new election overseas and its new president. Nato´s role changed from a worldwide org. to be seen as an unnecessary fund consuming machine. Therefore remaining troops were evacuated from the Tango conflict leaving Sweden to its destiny with its own troops.
NATO-SF
NATO relied on SF backup and surveillance. Forces were making their way in to the conflict zone. Unfortunately they never made it to the region. Difficulties were encountered along the insertion process which made their entry impossible. No contact was established between the Special Forces units and the NATO platoon commander. SF units whereabouts is still unknown at the current moment, although they are believed to be out there.
SWEFORE
Is now playing a larger and more important part than ever. Regular ranger teams are operating in the area trying to establish contact and build a military structure. Assistance is expected from the United Kingdom. Swedish forces have succeeded with their recon operations and demolition jobs overall by operating in small and undetected units. Their overall success rate is high. The back draw has been an overwhelming task, which forced them in to operate more carefully against a larger enemy.
ACCF
Is back to join the conflict. After several years since their last defeat and several attempts to reorganize, they have now finally succeeded. How their part will affect the conflict at this stage and what aspects it will play out remains to be seen. But for sure to notice from the past, this is a dangerous and unpredictable fraction that quickly can grown in numbers.
SUMMERY
NATO is out, the UK troops and Swedish troops take over the show operating in DPM and M90 camo, Reorganizing for a European coalition. All this while successful EFAF/Spetsnaz troops are operating.

SSMG informs
SSMG has no chance to determine your level of outdoor and game experience. So therefore we would like to provide you with some basic information.
Here are some basic recommendations for the event:
Sleep - We know that many of you are pushing hours to the limit during events including us. This concept will most likely not hold at a Thursday – Sunday event without any sleep. No sleeping during this event will most likely result in you not lasting until Sunday morning. To maintain a good level of endurance we recommend you to sleep while you can.
Use tactical sleeping - Sleeping 5-10min is better than not sleeping at all. You do not need to sleep a whole night through as you normally do in your "civilian life". By sleeping randomly, whenever you get the chance, you can gather pretty much of your resting time during a 24h period when your operation lets you.
A good general rule to last longer periods outdoors is: Don’t stand if you can sit, don’t sit if you can lie down, don’t be awake if you can sleep.
Eat and Drink– If you do not match your intake of energy with your consumption you will most likely lose your ability to function properly. Always try to eat before you go on a mission and always drink water. Don’t forget to bring water with you.
Lack of water and food will lower your performance and make you feel even more tired. Try to stay away from sugar and caffeine. Both will lower your performance in the long run. Aim for a protein and fat rich diet instead. This will also keep you satisfied better and have you performing longer on your missions.
Hygiene – Very important for your moral and well being. Also a very good way of staying healthy and avoiding infections. Keep your hands away from your mouth and nose. Picking your nose with dirty hands is not a good alternative to stay healthy since you’re most likely pushing up bacteria inside your head where you have mucous membranes. Lots of lakes and water in the area. Use it every day. But only special outdoor soap/shampoo that you can find at your local outdoor store.
Schedule – Follow the platoon schedule and always use your time to what it is meant for. Don’t use up other peoples time. Always do what you are told, because if you don’t other people will suffer for it. If you are scheduled to be on a mission or an outpost then be there. In a platoon everyone is depending on everyone doing their job.
Communication and Consideration – Check, Ask, Adapt
Put others needs first and your needs will be put first. Anything is just as strong as its weakest link. Help each other to produce memorable experiences. Never leave anyone behind. Remember, bad attitude is contagious, as well as good and positive attitude. Never end the game in your head in advance. That´s equal to quitting. Remember; Your hardest day was yesterday.
Leaders– Make sure that your leaders can rest, so that they can make good decisions. An overworked team leader or platoon leader is not to anyone’s use. Always listen to your leaders, they have an important role. Give them the chance to lead.
Weather
Use proper boots and pack everything in plastic bags before you pack it in your backpack. If your stuff gets wet on day one, you will have a very difficult game ahead of you. Always prepare your equipment for the worst imaginable weather and you will most likely be fine.
Walking
Yes we do!
Walking still has the highest survival rate in ground combat and is the preferred way out there by many operators. Always be prepared to walk and take only as much with you as you can carry.
Always think of physical activities as good extra training.
Your Comfort Zone
The first thing that will happen to you is; that you will be dragged out of your comfort zone. You need to figure out before you arrive what your limits are. You will not have time for that in-game. Find out how you react to all the above mentioned topics... bad weather, sleep deprivation, low energy in take, high performance etc. Because no one in your immediate vicinity is interested in finding out what you are not capable of the hard way. We all have boundaries, it´s just a matter of how and when we break.
A good guide line is; If your moral is low, always stick to those who are the best at keeping a good and high moral. Because you have nothing to benefit from a person at the same or lower moral than you.
All points above combined can make things very difficult for you out there, so don’t let things get to you. If you don’t have field experience, talk to those who have. The above mentioned are basics for everyone of us to help maintain a good game level and making it memorable. Because the truth is that no one benefits from you falling out. Not SSMG, your team nor platoon or the enemy for that matter. So stay sharp!
Never forget that it is only your weapon that is unreal. Everything else such as weather, distance, hunger, pain, cold, heat, sleep deprivation etc, etc is the same, no matter if it’s a game conflict or a real one.
