Among the paintball players that will participate in the RAW competition are members of the Philippine Paintball Team who recently gained honors for the country by being hailed as champions in the international paintball competition held in Thailand.

Already law enforcement participants have signed up to join this one-of-a-kind event that brings together teams from SWAT, Airsoft and Paintball groups.

DETAILS ABOUT THE COMPETITION AND FAQS

What is DIEHARD RAW? What’s a Real Action Wargame?

The first Philippine Real Action Wargame is a tactical scenario based simulation combat competition that will employ the newest replica simulated ammunition rifle, known as the Real Action Marker.

In this competition, real SWAT officers, airsoft aficionados and paintball players will come together to engage each other in a friendly, extreme game that is only possible through the ATACS Real Action Marker simulated ammunition rifle.

The Real Action Wargame (RAW) will be comprised of three stages, with a maximum of 30 teams of 6 players. Throughout the competition, marshals will be on hand to officiate and maintain order in each game stage.

Stage 1 - RAW teams will go head to head against each other in a tactical combat maneuver known as “capture the flag”. In this stage, the competitors will either try to eliminate the members of the opposing team at the shortest time possible. They can also attempt to capture the opposing team’s flag before the game time runs out. Every time a player eliminates a member of the opposing team, his team gets points will be used to deduct from their total game time. By capturing the flag, the team also gets additional points to use for deducting from their total time. The team will then be awarded points, with the team with the least number of points being declared the winner. Each team member will only have 2 magazines or 40 rounds to use during this stage.

Stage 2 - The teams will be tasked to clear a building through Close Quarters Battle (CQB) tactics. Unlike Stage 1, the teams will not be going against each other but will be fighting a “shadow squad”, which is a hand-picked team of non-competitors whose main role is to act as aggressor players. The teams will be under time pressure to eliminate all the four “shadow squad” members within the building. For this stage, each member of the time will be given 3 magazines or 60 rounds.

Stage 3 - This will be the championship round, where only the top 5 teams will get to participate. In this stage, the scenario will be for the team to escort a VIP from one point of the game area to a pre-designated exit point. Along the way they will be ambushed by 4 shadow squad operators, whose sole objective is to “assassinate” the VIP. In this stage, the teams must successfully protect the VIP to the exit point. If the VIP is shot, the team loses. The team who is able to reach the exit area with the VIP at the least amount of time will be declared the 1st ever Diehard 4 RAW champion.
