OPERATION BLACK VEIN:
10–11/10/2026
Following the successful ThroneBreaker and Project Rustopia series in France, Shadow Events Belgium returns with a brand-new Tactical Simulation experience!
Join us in the Belgian Ardennes for a weekend of immersive, mission-driven gameplay across 150,000 m² of terrain!

PROLOGUE
Belgian Ardennes, 1950.
Set in an alternate timeline, Europe is still recovering from the WW2 when researchers discover a massive, previously unknown oil reserve deep beneath the Ardennes.
Its codename: BLACK VEIN.
Before the discovery can become public, the researchers disappear. Supply lines are attacked. Classified documents go missing. Upon learning about Black Vein, three powers move into the region:
🟦 NORTH STAR COMMAND
"Order. Progress. Control."
An international security force determined to secure Black Vein and bring the region under its control. Check out the Shadow Events Facebook for more lore!

🟥 ASHFALL GUARD
"From the ruins, we rise."
An armed movement determined to prevent North Star Command from claiming the oil and the region. Check out the Shadow Events Facebook for more lore!

🟨 THE 17TH OFFICE (Roleplayers)
"Information is power!"
A covert organization operating in the Ardennes long before Black Vein was discovered.
They possess information about the oil, the researchers, and both factions - and will sell it to whoever pays the right price. Check out the Shadow Events Facebook for more lore!

Your objectives may include:
- Capture and hold extraction sites
- Protect or ambush convoys
- Recover classified documents
- Negotiate with The 17th Office
- Complete faction missions
- Make deals. Break them. Trust no one.
