Gosh, it all seems very professional.
I hope the amateurs amongst us won't lower the bar.

I have to make sure 600 people on my team have a good time. So we are taking things pretty seriously. Ultimately its all in fun, but if we want to be successful we need to run a tight ship.

senordingdong

Oh I'm all for a tight ship.

You have no idea how funny it looks when 600 people dont know what there doing. Oh ye for people who haven't been before when you arrive and we will be there early noone beats the irish at digging in and making defencive bunkers.

Nearly all of which were on the wrong side.

True but they were fantastic.

Will look at the maps first this time.

Administrative lockdown for Berget is scheduled for the end of April. Player numbers will be issued at that time. See this post for details.

BTW, the correct shade of blue for NATO is Pantone Colour Guide No 280. I suggest that we get our numbers done in black. White on blue will stand out too much.

Sent of email to Berget event sto see if there is any more nato tickets.

Doesn't look likely.

If anyone want a last minute bail get in touch with me.

I'm now considering going onto another team

The criminal drug smugglers sound interesting

Not sure if anyone has posted this already... BUT!

The map of the game area is out. We're on the coast and a good GOOD :eek: few miles down the road from Berget 6. As in closer to Sundsvall. Looks class.

Will I be in trouble for posting the link to the post?

I'll see what happens!:p

DevilsBreath

You should be fine as it's the full map for all factions :P.

Looks like an interesting layout.

If you look it up in google maps it don't look as wooded as the area last year so could be interesting.

OzCam

I've tried goooooogle, mapquest, multimap and a few others, but I can't seem to find a decent satellite photo. Even Terraserver has only a very poor image that's 10 years old. Anyone know where there's a decent photo?

Conkey

Yeah I've been trying as well and coming up with nothing.

But the site looks great!

Is probably the best you will find.

There is plenty of forest, but many more usable roads as well as some large "clear" areas. It is about the same size as last years area, but much more of the terrain is actually usable.

Holy cow!
That's huge!

wouldnt mind celebrating my Birthday there

OzCam

There's a Marketplace thread on the Berget forum. If you're quick, and lucky, you might get a NATO ticket there. Hurry up, the admin lockdown is coming soon (end of this month at the latest, I think).

NATO ticket. Check what's added to the ticket; e.g. transport to the event, food, etc.

If it's just the ticket, you can sort out extras with BE anyway so it's not the end of the world.

Ghostwarrior

Ok, Change of plans...


I cant make it this year. maybe Berget 8?

Details for BE

Recently one of the landowners suddenly cancelled their collaboration with Berget-Events.

This means that Berget 7 will not be held at Åstön-Island.
Players who have booked flights and other transport to Midlanda or the Härnösand region should not cancel their bookings as the new area also will be close to Härnösand.

Nothing has changed regarding game play, scenario, transportations or plot outline. We are currently evaluating two different game areas. Further information, maps and photos of the new game area will be released shortly.

This change was totally unforeseen. It will cost us time and money to rearrange the game. Mail, phone and other administrative services can therefore be slow the following week. We also know that some players already have printed maps and booked hotel in advance. Berget-Events apologise for any inconvenience.

As you can imagine this puts a lot of stress on us and a HUGE load of timcosting effort will be needed.

We will get back as soon as possible with more information, please standby.


Best regards, Berget-Events

OzCam

The only good thing about that is that BE will be too busy arranging a new game area to do the Admin Lockdown for the next week or so.

It's one last chance for anyone who hasn't got a ticket yet to sneak in under the wire. If you want to go, move!
