"Attack on Kekkoskylä 1944" is a one-day scenario game set during the Second World War. The event is not a competition for airsoft-kills, but a historically themed scenario with a strong emphasis on immersion. The game will not be without action or tactics though of course! The aim is to keep the game continuously going throughout the day, with changes to the pace and intensity of the game coming according to the wishes and tactical decisions of the players.


Beginners in WW2-airsoft are especially welcome:

  • There are a couple of complete sets of equipment available to be borrowed from the gamemasters to equip Soviet or German fighters.
  • Equipment limits are loose. There is also a partisan side to the game, for which all you need is period-style civilian clothing.
  • No age limit.
  • Feel free to ask about borrowing sets of equipment and carpools/rideshares on Discord.
  • There is no minimum or maximum number of players. The event will be held even if the gamemasters are the only ones participating!

    Discussions about equipment, carpooling/ridesharing and other event related matters will mainly take place on the WW2/WW1 Airsoft Finland discord server: https://discord.gg/q6A4nSZTgM 
    Alternatively, there is also the Ww2 Airsoft Finland Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/366539996762945

Backstory

"May 1944. The Red Army is redeploying its military resources towards Karelian Isthmus and the shores of Lake Ladoga for the coming summer offensive. The front in Lapland has remained stagnant for years, but now the commanders of the Finnish and German forces stationed in northern Finland see an opportunity to revive the front; the Red Army's defenses in the Murmansk region have weakened. Finnish and German soldiers on the frontlines are reassembled for a new offensive. The task is to destroy the Soviets’ overextended advance guard and to pierce their supply line. The attack on Kekkoskylä is to be one step closer towards cutting the Murmansk railway, if the Red Army fighters falter."


Arrival & Schedule

Särväntie 60, 20380, Kaarina. Parking at the game area is by the gravel roadside next to the game. It is not allowed to park on the grassy road between the farmfield and the forest. This due to the fact that the area is agricultural, so even larger machines must be able to get past the cars to the farmfields.
