See you at Battlegroup 2026!

We are happy to confirm that the Northern Royal Guard command team is now set for Battlegroup 2026.

Mikko Koho will serve as the formal battalion commander and represent the faction publicly. Kyrö will support the command team and take responsibility for operational leadership during the game.

See you all next week!

The official game area map has now been published. Players can download the map from the event website under the Game Area section.

The map shows the updated game area, key locations, restricted roads, off-game areas and service points for the event.

This year, the game area has been expanded compared to last year. Players are strongly advised to study the map carefully before arriving at the event, as the updated boundaries and access routes differ from previous years.

Special attention should be paid to Halinkankaantie. The section of Halinkankaantie leading toward last year’s check-in area, starting from the Pihlaistontie intersection, is privately owned. The landowner has stated that they do not want event traffic using that road. This restricted section has been marked on the map and must not be used for driving.

The map can be downloaded from the event website under Information → Game Area:

During the event, live and time-sensitive information such as flag points, active objectives and other current gameplay updates will be available through the event status system:

https://status.ehasa.org

A limited number of printed maps will also be available for purchase at the game area, in addition to the maps that have already been pre-ordered.

Players are encouraged to download the map in advance, check the access routes carefully and make sure they are using only the permitted roads and areas when arriving at the event.

Northern Royal Guard needs a commander for this year’s Battlegroup.

The commander is responsible for leading the faction before and during the event: building a functional HQ, assigning responsibilities, giving tasks to subordinate leaders and keeping the overall operation moving according to the objectives given by game control.

The role suits someone who can plan ahead, make decisions under pressure and communicate clearly. You are not expected to do everything alone — a good commander builds a capable team around them.

The commander receives:

• no game fee
• 20 € credit for Ehasa products during the event
• 4 free meals from the partner grill
• the opportunity to shape NRG’s game already before the event

Applications and questions: info@ehasa.org

Tell us briefly who you are, what kind of experience you have and how you would approach leading NRG.

Hello everyone! I am Arto Riaikinen, and at the Battlegroup 2026 event I will be serving as the battalion commander of the Nordberg Coalition.

In previous Battlegroup events, I have participated as a player as well as in leadership roles at HQ; most recently, I served as the deputy commander last year.

Airsoft itself is very close to my heart. In my local area, I help organize and develop activities, as well as assist newcomers in getting into the sport. This really captures how important community, fun, safety, and above all, escaping everyday life are within the hobby. I believe everyone involved in the sport can relate to this.

For the upcoming event, the goal is for everyone to have fun. Everyone should walk away with memories they can look back on later—laughing at stories, whether it’s eating blueberries in a bush while waiting for the enemy or fighting a tough battle along a rescue road—and sharing those stories with others who are interested in the event.

The real victory is not leaving empty-handed, but having something to share and laugh about afterward. Let’s move forward with determination and a smile, because everything is more enjoyable together.

One state, one united people, and an unbreakable coalition!

– Arto Riaikinen
