SOFTERNA 2010 is held 13.–15.08.2010 in and near Rutja Military Airbase, 90kms east of Tallinn, Estonia. The fourth ever SE will have a totally new terrain unknown to any mil-simmers !
Please follow
http://www.softerna.ee > briefing for the game concept and obligatory gear.
SOFTERNA is a 36h nonstop recce and patrol mil–sim airsoft event, where recce teams of 2 or 3 compete in different soldier and infantry combat skills and avoid the mobilised counteraction which is scattered throughout the combat zone.
Being outnumbered and maintaining 100% combat readiness at all times, the recce units must – at specified times and places – complete different soldier tasks and perform combat skills such as shooting exercises, grenade throwing, CQB stages, mine field and obstacle crossing, boating, recce tasks – anything a small commando unit would be required in a behind-enemy-lines operation. For those who dear, additional checkpoints are available to collect for a yet better score, but don't get caught! Concealed movement, camouflage, careful planning and fine-tuned soldier and team skills are the key element to success.
This event is a continuous airsoft scenario for both recce units and OPFOR, with competition elements for recce units. There is no game off until it's all over.
Participating recce teams should be experienced in military simulation airsoft, day and night navigation, fit to cover 25–30 kms (15–20 miles) on foot while fully equipped and have necessary gear for self-sustainability in the open terrain.
SOFTERNA takes its name from the Erna Raid (
