How did you manage them? Was it really bad?

The mosquitoes and knotts being present was pretty heavy, but within tolerance.
At least for me, but then I'm pretty used to them.
I hope many feel the same!

As long as you used some kind of repellant it wasn´t that bad. :)

Not a problem for me personally, but I know teammates who got bitten all over.

They got a bit annoying during the last few hours of play on Saturday, when we held our blocking pos west of the RICO extraction force. Apart from that, a Normal level for Scandinavia this time of year. Having been to Boden once when it was really bad, I was half prepared for that based on the pre game warning ;)

In the base camps it was ok
Raven base had more mosquito's compared to GCT base.
In the field they were more present and have slept 2 nights out in the field it was terrible, never seen so many big mosquito's together and never got bitten that bad in my life
And I had some severe midge attacks before and it was nothing compared to that.
I think if I would of counted my bites I would be well over a couple of hundred. On my head, ankles and back I had about 10 bites in an area you could cover with a 1 SEK coin...

The pre-game warning was a good move. I made the mistake of only have 95% and 98% deet. Once you had a few bites that stuff burned.
