Would it be possible to tear down Bashir/Janco (the village at the Härnösand area), move it to the B8 area and reassemble it?

Maybe a new location would be better. Majority of players know all other locations. From all of them Harnosand its awesome maybe because i love that city and its people, the variation of terrain its great.

Now regarding b8 i understand that its good for mech units having 3/4 roads instead of 1 (this /last year location) but have in mind that 30 victors are fun, but majority of people are walkers, so ... Just a big swamp with thin trees and alot of mosquitos, this is what b8 location tasted for me.

PS next year we might have a Victor ready for berget, the problem its that we need to drive it 1400 km one way and another 1400 km back home

I was a footslogger at B8 (Poldavian Mountaineers), and still enjoyed the area immensely.
It's a lot closer to the town of Sollefteå too, which is a pretty decent place, if not quite as nice as Härnösand.

yeah B8 mountaineers hade a "middle of the woods" base but it was good enough for a mil-sim unit.
B8 area is great unless u can get another area with lots of roads.

I would vote for harnosand but i think I should have voted for the B8 location.

I only have experience of Harnosand and now the B12 gaming area, and it's safe to say that I did not like the B12 area. Forests too dense and too much boggy marsh land.

Damn, that feeling when you where ball deep in a swamp back in B8 :lol:
That was my first Berget and we did it propper Ranger style back there 8)

A nice area that I would vote for, but a new area is always refreshing and exiting so if it is possible to arrange that then that is what I vote for :wink:

This was my first Berget but not the last 'Opa' attends. As I have no comparison I can not vote for a paticular area.
But the next area should have a road specific for offgame vehicles which does not run the entire game area.
This year I saw a lot of off game vehicles on the road next to the PMC base. A lot of those vehicles I saw several times a day which killed any secret mission. I know off game vehicles are off game, but for me it was clear that they still looked and relayed info to their HQ. One particular example at the bordercrossing: a GCT sniperteam lost their spotter when he was shot at the bunker. No problem as this is part of the game. But 5 minutes later a vehicle (offgame) returns from the safezone, passes the bunker, stops 200 meters past the bunker and a lone shooter gets out of the forrest and in to the vehicle. :shock:

The most important things about game area for me:

1. good terrain for airsoft skirmishing(not too bushy or open, maybe some elevation changes.)
2. proper setting for the civilians.
3. ingame roads.
4. towns or shops nearby.

I'm not sure which Berget game-area I like the most. B8 area was good for vehicles, B9-10 area for infantry and B11-12 was something in between. Janco/Bashir was also the best build up area.

If there is any chance to get area from army (Spannsjön Solleftea), take it. If not, take same area as Berget 8. Both areas are very good. Old Berget crew members know that other place what I mean.

Just saying, but don't choose area what have just one road just as two previous years.

Why not test a new area next year, there is a game area placed near the city of "Laxå" that is great!
You have a Airstrip, lake, numbers of roads, ect.

That area looks awesome, but isn't it a bit close to off-game built up areas?
I'm not saying that the international players who attend Berget are worse airsofters than the (mainly) Swedish milsimmers who usually play at Laxå, but with ~1500 airsofters running around, chances are someone might stray from the game area, or off-game hikers or cars will enter the area and disturb the game?

Roads being used by off-game locals was one of my main issues with Härnösand. Awesome battles were put on hold because people were returning from work.

Not to mention what a disaster it would be for the Swedish airsoft community if someone were to have their eye shot out by mistake.


The guys who normally play at Laxå may have a solution to those problems though. I don't know.

The only time you get close to the civilisation is when you enter the area, or leave.
There are a few houses in the area, but its no bigger problem then mark the map with "Forbidden zone" ect.

In 5 years time we meet civilian 1 time, maybe warning signs on the roads when enter the area would solve that?

Its a very big area, and the most of it is usable with roads all over.



I dont think its possible to find a bigger and better area then this, but please prove me wrong :)

That area looks awesome, BUT what about that "205" road?
Other than that, i get my RHIB ready right now! ;-)

Well, might be a bit far for berget-crew... i mean, they have to bring the trucks and all the other stuff...
