Bomb Up Airsoft have shared details of an airsoft event they are running with Equal Airsoft on the 6th and 7th July 2019:

NWAF is a weekend event held at Outpost Airsoft in Chester. We are holding this event in aid of Mind (the mental health charity) so all profits from attendance will go to Mind. There will also be lots of raffle prizes which we have had donated – again, all profits from the raffle will go to Mind. On the Saturday there will be suppliers/manufacturers attending to showcase products which will be available to purchase through us from our on-site shop. There will also be preowned stalls as well so plenty of opportunity for players to spend their hard earned cash. The Saturday is more of a family day so there will be mini airsoft games running throughout the day as well as entertainment such as a DJ, live bands, bouncy castle assault course, portable scare room, food stalls and more, as well as the option to camp over on Saturday night. The Sunday will be a full battle sim game day and we will have the shop open again for anything the players might need. Prices start from just £5 entrance, more information can be found on our website or through clicking this link

BattleArena have shared details of their 2019 tournament which will be taking place in Finland during March:

BattleArena is the biggest international airsoft tournament which will take place at March 2nd and 3rd 2019 in Finland. The US will be represented by the Cut Throut Contracting Team from NJ. Athletes from Russia, Finland, USA, Belarus, France, UK, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Kazakhstan, Israel and China will fight for the title of the best team in the world. During two days of the BattleArena competition, thousands of viewers will see the event using YouTube and Facebook live broadcasts.

Cut Throat Contracting Team – became one of victory candidates due to their victory at the national qualification games, which took place in Atlanta at January 2019.

This is season V of Battle Arena Tournament, and the second time in the row it will happen in Finland at the “ASA Airsoft Arena”, Europe’s largest premium indoor training facility. The rules of this competition are the “Bank Heist” scenario, teams will operate as the SWAT and Robbers by turns. The team which “steal” more golden bars will be a winner. The bank vault and the golden bars replicas were built especially for this scenario. The modeling of the real streets and urban environment gives a special touch to the game process, police vehicles and robbers cars finalizing the deep immersion. Despite the fact that players are using weapons which looks like the real ones, it is just real-looking pneumatic replicas. It shoots small 6mm plastic pellets with maximum of 400FPS velocity. All the participants wearing the eye and head protection for safety reasons. Player leaving the round as “eliminated” once being hit with the pellet in any part of his body. Special pyrotechnic grenades are also allowed in the competition. Referees are controlling the game process every moment. But the motto of the project is the “Fair Play’’.

BattleArena is the unique tournament which will bring you endless emotions for whole two days of the broadcast. This is a first person format which provide you a filling of the full dipping into the process!  Many static points of view along with mobile operator units and action cameras attached to players, along with multiple languages commentators and professional information layers, will grab your attention from the first moments of this action! It isn’t another tactical competition – BattleArena is a new format of the pure sports, and it is run under the slogan we already know – “Better Play!”.

Cheer for the Cut Throut Contracting Team – one of 16 BattleArena world champion candidates!

Area setup

SSMG has made the decision, just too really secure marine operations, with equal terms for everyone, that the area is to be split in to three separate areas connected to each other with water in between. The rules are simple; the only way you can make it in to enemy territory is over water. The whole point is not to paddle around on open water just so we can call it marine operations, but rather that units have to engage in tactical thinking when it comes to actually providing safe operations on water and applying tactical thinking on both protecting own regions and also taking the fight to the enemy. The area might seem very large with kilometers of water, but not to forget that these vast regions of water are only highways and easily covered with one or two men patrolling them, observing from an elevated point or a strategic outpost. Another good thing is that radios go a long way on open water which also makes the area smaller.
