Preparations have gone early this year for the SIX Airsoft Tournament at the HistoryCon Manila 2018 this coming August. After successfully staging last year’s SIX Airsoft Tournament, the organizers in cooperation the local airsoft community have decided to expand the airsoft experience for this year.

Initial details have been released, and according to those in charge with the tournament, the following events are open to interested airsoft players:

1. Milsim CQB
2. Speedsoft/Speedball
3. Airsoft Practical Shooting

Last year was a 2-day competition in a MOUT CQB setup.

HistoryCon is also a big event for cosplayers as they will be converging again for what is billed as the biggest entertainment convention of the year in Manila. Airsoft players are encouraged to come with their gear to the event though we won’t encourage them to be wearing their gear and carrying their guns in public on their way to the venue. They can just put them on when they enter the venue.

The SIX Airsoft Tournament gets its name from History Channel’s “SIX” military combat drama series. The series is about the U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six which in the first season was sent on a mission to hunt down a Taliban leader in Afghanistan but the mission went bad when they uncovered an American citizen working with the terrorists.

Apart from airsoft, there will be other events such as automotive displays, trade stalls, workshops, and more just like last year. The official webpage of the HistoryCon Manila 2018 is not yet up, but they can visit the History Channel’s page to have an idea on what the HistoryCon is.

An initial page for the HistoryCon Manila 2018 SIX Airsoft Tournament Facebook Event Page has been setup by the Philippine Airsoft Events Facebook page, though the organizers say that they are still threshing out the details so more information will still be released in following weeks.
