Did you get a pallet for 6? Did you have enough for a conatainer? If we could get enough lads to split it shouldn't be too steep.

Think we also need to allow more time before and after the event for travel, Idealy we should be able to spend a night in hanasand before the game starts to get stuff organised, And going to get a later flight back, rushing to the airport at 7am was a pain.
we have plently of time to organise stuff,(probably not enough time to get fit)

Random question
You will get a "game rule" question when booking to confirm that you have read and understood the rules. Therefore we suggest that you read up on the rules before you register your ticket. You will not be able to book a ticket until you have answered the control question correctly.


Traveling & Weapon transport
The closest airport to Härnösand and the game area is Midlanda (Sundsvall), and the closest bus/train station is Härnösand central station. We can arrange transport from/to both.

When you travel by airplane to Sweden, you should travel to Arlanda (Stockholm) and then take a plane to Midlanda (Sundsvall). The price is about 30~40 EURO to travel from Arlanda to Midlanda if you book in advance.

Use the Swedish airlines service for this: http://www.sas.se/ and klick on the english flag in the left corner.


NOTE!
When booking your roundtrip to Berget please keep this in mind!!!

When flying to Sweden you will arrive at Stockholm Airport (Arlanda). The transport option we provide is from Sundsvall airport (Midlanda).

So you need to book a connectionflight from Stockholm to Sundsvall where we pick you up (and leave you after the game).

If you book in advance the price is about 30~40 EURO one way for this connection flight.

You can also travel from Arlanda (Stockholm) to Härnösand by bus or train, it takes 6/3 hours and costs around 40/50 EURO.

Weapon transport
Customs in Sweden will not confiscate airsoft weapons. The transport within Swedish borders will not be a problem either. We will contact and inform Customs about Berget in advance. For your safety please mark your gun barrels with red tape and bring some papers about Berget 7. Still, if any problem arise, just ask Customs to contact us and we will do our best to sort it out.

It is worth noting that German Customs often confiscate airsoft weapons. Therefore, if you are planning to travel through Germany, there is an option to send your guns to us and collect them at check-in.

Sending your weapons
To avoid problems or delays with customs we have arranged an option to send your guns to Sweden by mail/speed post.

You must pack your guns properly and place a paper inside the package with contact info to you, name, phone, complete address and booking numbers. Please also add a clearly visible note on the outside of the package with your Team name and the name on your contact person.

Send the package to:

Berget-Events AB
Spjutgatan 21
871 51 HÄRNÖSAND
SWEDEN

Phone:
+46 76-1404515

When you arrive at the game-site & check in you will receive your package un-opened. You will have to show proper photo-ID/passport and booking number. (Remember to check the delivery time before sending, if you don't use speed post it can take over 4 weeks before the package arrives to us.)


There is an administrative fee "600 SEK" per package for this service and you will have to pay this at check in.

There is also an option to send your guns back to desired address in your country. More about this will be explained on site.

If you want prices about the costs for this. Estimate the total weight of the package and talk to your local post office.

NOTE!

We strongly recommend that you book the return shipping as well for pickup on the same address Monday the 30th of June. This will in most cases be cheaper than contacting a Swedish company.

If you for some reason cannot book the return shipping by yourself, we can do this for you. To be able to do this, we need the following information:
• Destination address along with contact information
• Measurements and weight of each package
When we have obtained this information, we will contact a shipping company for a quotation. You will receive the price, and are to pay us in advance.

We will arrange so that the packages will be picked up Monday the 30th of June. If the packages are bigger or heavier than you have advised, and thus leading to a greater fee. The package won’t be shipped until we have received additional funds, this including fees for storage at the shipping company.


Logistics
We will provide military tents or shelters for sleeping, drinking water, toilets and 220 volt generators in all bases. Showers, restaurant & Airsoft-shops will be available in the main Safe-zone.

Small Kiosks will also be placed in the bigger bases along with a crew-help desk. All battalion, company and platoon commanders will be equipped with a cellphone and High output radio for better means of communication with the crew.

Storage:
There will be storage space available in the main Safe-zone, for equipment you don't want to carry around in the field. This will cost 50 SEK, for which you get supervised storage and a ticket to collect your kit. If you lose your ticket, you will need to show your identification to retrieve your gear.


Check in:
All participants must carry valid identification, such as a driving license, ID card or passport. We also recommend that you write down your booking reference to expedite the check-in process. Check-in will open at 09.00 on Tuesday the 24th of June for early arrivals.

All material you rent or borrow from us will be given to you at check in.

Immediately following check-in, players will be shown to the relevant base and prepare for the game. We expect the game to begin at 22.00 on Wednesday the 25th. Players arriving after this will simply join their groups as they arrive.


Water
All bases and main Safe-zone will have drinking-water 24/7 available in large tanks. We will have staff taking care of filling these 1000 liter tanks when necessary.


Food and vending
Since we will have no facilities to accept credit cards during Berget, make sure you bring cash if you intend to buy anything. All those who have ordered and paid for food will get it delivered to the game area restaurant 11:00 and 17:00 on the Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

Personally supplied food may be cooked in designated areas in the field or in the base. Berget will provide a shop where provisions can be purchased in the main Safe-zone. The shop will supply soft drinks, sweets, coffee, snacks, tobacco products and a limited range of hot snacks. There will also be micro-shops in some of the bigger in game camps.

EURO`s are accepted in the kiosk/shops in safezone. But we won't accept coins. You will get your exchange in swedish currency.

Sleeping
All facilities will be pre-built by Berget-crew, you will get a spot in a military tent/ shelter along with your teammates. All players shall sleep in base-areas. There wont be any off-game sleeping area.

If you want to sleep outside the game-area (in hotel/hostel or camping etc). You must report this to your base commander before the game starts.

Waste Disposal
Any waste, of whatever kind, must be disposed of responsibly; dustbins will be provided at designated points. If you stop in the woods for a snack you will be expected to remove all your rubbish to the nearest dustbin. If we caught anyone throwing trash in the forest we will ban this player from game area.

Power supply
There will be limited access to electricity during the event, and it will be primarily used for lighting and limited battery charge in the bases.

We can only promise 100 % working 220V sockets in the main Safe-zone. We recommend that you bring fully charged spare batteries and airsoft battery chargers.

Internet
Berget-events are proud to announce that we will have a fully operational Internetcafé and wireless connection in the main safezone. This means that players can borrow computers or logon to a WIFI network with their own laptops for a small fee. This service will be avaible 09:00 - 03:00 all days during the event.

Hygiene
We will supply toilets in the main Safe-zone and in all main bases. We will also provide showers in main Safe-zone. Showers and saunas are also available free of charge in Härnösand at Högslätten sports center. We strongly recommend that everyone washes daily, since poor hygiene can lead to skin and stomach problems. There are large bodies of water around the game area which can be used for washing; bring towel, soap and shampoo.

Security and Safety
Swedish laws, naturally, apply during the event and apply above all other rules before, during and after Berget. If you are one of our overseas players and have questions about rules and laws check with the Swedish Police or contact us.

Eye Protection and Other PPE
Everyone on the game area must wear eye protection, including while asleep. It is essential that you wear eye protection suited for airsoft and that you only use proper and tested protection. We also recommend players to wear dental shields to avoid tooth injuries. Naturally this rule also applies to the LARP contingent.


The Game Area
There is always a risk that real civilians find their way into the game area. While we have taken all possible measures to inform the public, everyone will be expected to help reduce the risk by explaining to them that the area is being used for an airsoft game and that it is dangerous to be there without eye protection.

If you see a civilian during a firefight, or when a firefight is imminent, immediately shout "Cease fire“ "game off"! Civilian! This should be repeated by all other players to make sure that everyone knows. Make your weapons safe and ensure that the civilian is informed about the event and politely escort the off the area before calling Game On.


Make Safe
Before entering a Safezone you must make your weapons safe. Remove the magazine and fire a few rounds in a safe direction (marked) to clear the chamber. It is absolutely prohibited to point a weapon at anyone inside a Safezone, and the marshals will take a very dim view of any careless behavior. If necessary the person concerned will be asked to leave.
