OPERATION YETI
SCENARIO *NEW 2023*
South of Sweden has become a hot zone. Enemy activities have increased dramatically, both in the Baltic sea and inland Sweden. Locals have reported sittings in the area. When checked with local authorities, no Swedish government activity have been issued. Upon investigations of sabotage against mobile network stations, electrical infrastructure and railway systems have increased. Drone activities near important objects of public concern have increased overall.
Swedish national units have been assigned to investigate but so far no one has been apprehended. K9 units have traced tracks headed east to the Baltic sea, but eventually the tracks were lost without results. The Swedish government has to show force before the media gets the upper hand of the situation and starts criticizing politically. To take matters in to hand, the Swedish government have called in specialized units from the military to deal with the matter. Their job is to find the aggressors by any means before they can strike again.
SCENARIO
Norway´s resources of natural gas up in the North Cape area are vital for Norway´s economy and future survival. One of the largest facilities is in Hammerfest.
Nato has issued Norway to work out an immediate defense plan for the most northern parts of the country, insisting on ground troops and saying that NAF (Norwegian Airforce) is not capable of protecting their facilities only from the air.
Satellite images have shown for the past eight months an increase of arctic and sub-arctic activity from eastern forces which probably has influenced Nato´s request to Norway.
Norway as a Nato country is now hosting a military exercise near the Russian border. Sweden is joining in to evaluate ...its Nato member ship and assist with their long experience of sub arctic warfare. Nato command sees Rangers as the only possible operational units in the rough arctic environment. Now they want to test their theory.
Nato wants to know how this border area best can be protected from an invading enemy. Therefore a large co-op exercise is set up. Other Nato countries are ordered to send in their Ranger units for more arctic environment training incase Nato would need to assist Norway in the defense of the arctic.
The maneuver has come to Russia’s attention and was condemned immediately. A counter exercise was set up by the Russians on their own side of the border. Cross border observations were made by Swedish units already in place, before Nato, confirming An-124 airdrops of both troops and material.
Swedish units also confirm the find of cross border ski tracks in the southern parts of the border, ending up in major speculations and investigations. Rough weathers wiped out the tracks unfortunate for the follow up. Nato says that civilian activity in these areas are very,very rare. Soldiers believe that Eastern Forces are operating over the borders and have done so for a long time to map the area. After the finding of cross border tracks Norway airdropped a large amount of live ammunition to their exercising troops.

NEW FROM YETI 2017 (this text might be modified, so keep track)
LIVE GPS OPERATIONS TRACKING
Each team is provided (a loan only) by SSMG with a Waterproof GPS Live tracking device for continuous location monitoring in remote areas throughout the whole event. Benefits with this is that teams can operate freely in (operate and forget) type of fashion. Teams will be geofenced, meaning that if you are outside the operation area a signal will be provided to your command central. You will not have to position report to C.C. all routs will be optimized for all teams to save both time and energy. Fire Fights will also be easily reported to higher command by only one button click on the device. C.C. will also easily be able to provide all field teams with map overview of all team locations, missions and areas by sending print screen images to all operating teams. Practical tool for live mission updating.
FROM MIL.SIM to MIL.EX
The grading for the event is changed. Yeti is now only our own SSMG concept Mil.Ex. This because the event consists or/and will contain level of realism that you normally do not experience anywhere else. Therefore we can not grade it to anything else than level five.
SSMG MIL.EX. EVENT OPERATION AREA
New area added 2019 in the Mörlunda region, total count is three different areas to operate in. SSMG will never publish the detailed map event area for Yeti. Only a 100x100km overview for target destination. Yeti operators only... will receive, 24h before check-in a (go-to) google map coordinate for team check-in, where your gps device and first mission will be waiting for you.
NO REGULAR CHECK IN. (NOT FOR YETI 2021)
SSMG will not be waiting for you. Infact, we might not even be available at start untill you have checked in with your gps device, unless it is an emergency. As mentioned above, gps coordinates to your check in only. Therefrom you will start operating. Phone numbers to each and every team will be extra important though.
ALONE PLAYERS
If you are alone, without an own team and want to join this event, no problem. Your participation is always protected under the wings of the SSMG Eagle. We have an unwritten rule that no one is left outside or behind. Your participation is always seen as a usefull recourse. If you are totally alone, you will be assigned to a team for service. If enough alone players can form an own team, it will be done under the SSMG Temporary Construction Team rule.
YETIES
Operating Mil.Ex snipers with SSMG sniper systems in winter ghillie suits are called Yeties. They will be out there to put pressure on operating teams. This is an order catered from SSMG to external forces to put pressure on all fractions. This order will be relieved when 50 or more players join. Then SSMG will consider the field pressure to be handled by opposing sides due to the amount of players. Yeties are operating totally independently from SSMG. We only assign an area of operation to the Yeties and then "forget" them.
Check out will be given during the event with a map coordinate.
