If you are renting/using a GPS device from Ehasa, here are some instructions.

If your vehicle does not have an Android terminal, you will have to rent a GPS device. You can also rent a GPS device if you have an Iphone and you want to appear on your faction map etc. Ehasa may also provide you with GPS devices in individual cases.

You can get the device from the check in desk.

If you lose your rented GPS device, its price is 80 euros.

Instructions

Opening the device

Unscrew the two hex bolts. You don’t have to take them out, just unscrew only as much as needed. Do not overtighten the screws.

Removing the board

Remove the board by gently pulling it. Watch out for the antenna connectors as those can be very brittle.

Charging

Charge the device by plugging in the USB-C connector. You can leave the board halfway in while charcing.

Turning it on/off

Turn it on/off by using the switch on the other side of the charging port. Close the device afterwards but don’t overtighten the screws.

Access to the game area directly from bases is limited. A tape has been drawn in the area, which must not be crossed under any circumstances. Please check the map for more detailed drawing.

We have made some rules changes for the event. Changes are displayed below:

Info → General → Arrival and check-in
For check-in you will need: Identification, orange death rag, a receipt of the payment if needed and the necessary money to pay on site, if you have chosen that option. We reccommend that you reserve the correct change in cash, we can not guarantee payment by credit/debit card.

Info → Rules → Vehicles → Bringing an ingame vehicle to the event → Other requirements

• Working Hazard lights
• Beacon (for example: this), which should be placed on the hood of the vehicle for other players to access.
• GPS tracker (check vehicle rules)

Info → Rules → Vehicles → Destroying, repairing and respawning → Destroying an empty vehicle
– An empty vehicle can be destroyed by activating the light beacon on the hood, which acts as a sign that the vehicle has been destroyed.
– If there are personnel in or next to the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be destroyed in this way. So you can’t for example run from vehicle to vehicle destroying them. You can only destroy clearly parked and abandoned vehicles when using the light beacon.

Info → Rules → Mobile Field Hospital Vehicle

Other rules

• If the medic at the vehicle is shot, you cannot use the Mobile hospital until the same medic is alive again.
• The vehicle can be destroyed by the enemy. In case the vehicle is destroyed regular vehicle rules, such as respawn times, do apply.
• The vehicle or the assigned medic can be changed at base/when respawning.
• Only unarmed LVL1 vehicles can act as Mobile field hospital and there is only one per faction. The vehicle must have Ehasa provided “MOBILE FIELD HOSPITAL” markings on both sides.

Note! Abuse or cheating with a Mobile field hospital vehicle is a punishable act by Gamemasters.

We have finally completed the map of the game area. As an exception to previous years, the bases of both factions are located very close to each other. The bases are both equally close to services (food sales, sauna, registration, first aid) and we also avoid off-game traffic through the game area towards the end of the event.

Going to the opponent faction base area is prohibited. The commander of the faction can decide otherwise if necessary.

There will be some restrictions on the game area in terms of how you can move from the factions base to the game area. These exceptions will be marked on the terrain and on the status.ehasa.org map.

We have launched our own key chains: Pirkanmaa – Remove before fight, Uusimaa – Remove before fight, BATTLEGROUP 2023 and Ehasa.

You can find key chains for sale in the registration area of the event.

Digital Defense Ecosystem participates in the event and through them the 6X6 armored vehicle manufactured by Patria will be playing in the event. The vehicle will be playing on the Pirkanmaa faction and has some special rules. More information about the new Patria 6×6 can be fround here.

DDE will also provide other equipment to the Pirkanmaa faction.

Leo Soikkeli has been chosen as the commander of the Pirkanmaa faction.

“Leo “Lexxu” Soikkeli from Tampere and I’ll be representing Pirkanmaa as the commander defending the values of our homeland. With some experience of previous Battlegroup events and in various command positions, I have come to learn that I have not learned much, and what kind of opponent could anticipate our movements when we ourselves do not know what we are doing? Controlled chaos, aggressive offensive defense and invisible intelligence is this year’s theme that will be brought to the battlefield.

Our fighters: Remember that before everything was better and this “new land (uusimaa)” just proves my point, let’s fight together to make Pirkanmaa great again!

-Lexxu”

This year Ehasa has a new partner, who will provide you something to do before you come to our TSTOS event.

We present you the Milquest and their TSTOS Bootcamp exercise online program that has been made specially for our regular TSTOS players to make you stronger and more agile before the event starts.

Four intensive bootcamp weeks to get prepared for TSTOS. Each of the four Bootcamp-weeks has three weekly workouts designed to make you strong and agile, and a weekend challenge designed to simulate your milsim experience. The fourth weekend challenge is TSTOS itself.

You need your ruck, your boots, and a whole lot of can-do mentalty.

Since 2016, we have organized large international Airsoft milsim events in Finland. Over the years, about 8 terabytes of video and image material have been filmed from the events. We found some unseen material from which we made this video.
