SOFTERNA 2010 13-15AUG2010 ESTONIA

[SE Staff]

SOFTERNA is 36h nonstop recce and patrol mil-sim airsoft event, where 10-12 recce units of 2...3 operatives compete in different soldier and infantry combat skills and avoid the mobilised counteraction which is scattered throughout the combat zone. The event is a continuous airsoft scenario for both sides with competition elements for recce units. There is no game off until it's all over.

 

Being outnumbered and maintaining 100% combat readiness at all times, the recce units must complete different tasks such as shooting exercises, grenade throwing, CQB stages, mine field and obstacle crossing, boating, combat first aid, recce tasks -- anything a spec ops unit would be required to carry out during behind-enemy-lines operation. For those who dear, additional checkpoints are available to collect for a better score, but don't get caught! Concealed movement, camouflage, careful planning and fine-tuned soldier and team skills are the key elements to success. Deep behind enemy lines, on enemy controlled territory - you must stay alert and keep your eyes out for the enemy !

 

Platoon-strong OPFOR will use ambushes and road blocks to restrict any recce unit movement within the perimeter, and will execute search and destroy and combat patrol missions to detect and make contact with recce units. OPFOR may also be assigned to ambushes and area / perimeter security to defend strategic roads, landmarks and buildings.

 

SOFTERNA takes its name from the Erna Raid (http://www.erna.ee), one of the longest, hardest and most exhausting recce and patrol competitions for the military in the world.

 

Registration is open for both sides. OPFOR registration is available for teams the size of 4 or more persons.

 

Participating players in the recce units should be experienced in military simulation airsoft, day and night navigation, fit to cover 20-30 kms (13-19 miles) on foot while fully equipped and have necessary gear for self-sustainability in the open terrain. Requirements for OPFOR are less strict - be prepared for 3-6 hour long missions outside the base camp.
