THE PECHENGA PLOT
While NATO forces prepare for a new prolonged war in Sweden, a joint Swedish and Finnish Task force proposed an incursion into Russian territory in order to force Russia to reallocate manpower into a new territory. NATO forces then launched an assault into the Russian town of Pechenga, in the vicinity of the Russo-Finnish border. With many civilians caught off guard by the sudden presence of NATO troops and the Russian response, NATO and Russia have agreed on a temporary ceasefire to facilitate the evacuation of civilians out of the region. Despite this proposed ceasefire, the local populace, which has been largely left to fend for itself after 10 years of war, has decided to hold local referendums for independence from Russia. The Pechenga Plot will determine the future of the civilians in the region.
THIS IS AN INSURGENCY EVENT
WHERE: BOCKABY (BORÅS, SE)
WHEN: APRIL 11-13 2025
INSURGENCY EVENTS: What to Expect and How They Work
Insurgency events offer a unique and immersive experience that begins without direct confrontation. In these scenarios, military units are smaller, and the civilian population plays a pivotal role in driving the narrative forward. These events are heavily influenced by LARP (Live Action Role Play), where the story unfolds through the dynamic interactions between players.
At the heart of insurgency events is the civilian population, which is crucial to the storyline. As a participant, you have the creative freedom to shape your civilian character, whether you choose to portray a homeless individual searching for food, police or a respected lawyer who secretly supplies weapons to insurgents under the cover of night. Unlike traditional games, no single character takes the spotlight, emphasizing the collective contributions of all players to the evolving story.
Civilian players are encouraged to create and manage their own businesses or shops within the game. Your creativity plays a key role in shaping the success of your enterprise, allowing you to decide what kind of business to establish, what goods or services to trade, and how to attract customers. Whether you choose to run a small market stall, a bustling workshop, or a specialized service, your imagination will guide the development and growth of your business, making it an integral part of the game’s economy and overall storyline.
Civilian players are allowed to carry weapons, but they must remain on your back unless you are in immediate danger. Players who disturb the peace in the village will be taken to court and may face enforced in-game jail time.
Military units in these events are tasked with completing objectives and advancing the game with minimal reliance on armed conflict. This approach encourages strategic thinking and fosters deep engagement with the storyline. This doesn't mean that military units don't have an important role to play, or that combat situations won't arise. However, it's crucial for players to understand that your primary objectives will be winning hearts and minds, and achieving your faction's goals through the power of thought and diplomacy. The sword should only be a last resort, and if needed, it should be wielded in a way that doesn't backfire on you. With strategic thinking, you might even turn it against your opponent instead.
All our events (insurgency & force on force) are part of a larger shared fictional universe, where the outcomes of one event can influence others, contributing to an overarching and interconnected narrative. This continuity ensures that every event has lasting significance, making each experience a crucial piece of a larger, ever-evolving story.
