I'll be 48 this year, and like you I remember when the local Moral Majority types were picketting book and toy stores [there were no game stores back then] because DnD was 'devil-worship'.
I've been a game-geek since 1976 and played BT off and on throughout it's run. What's funny is that an awful lot of the original tactics and 'Mechs still work as well now as they did then.
It's amazing how far we've come since Saint Gary and Saint Dave published the 'Optional Fantasy Rules' for Chainmail, but in some ways we've also kind of slid back... The interwebs have made it much easier to connect with a fellow game fan in Helsinki, but harder to find a steady game group in your home town because everyone is online or Xbox or whatever. We have more options, but less personal interaction. I kinda miss a lot of that.

First taste of BT was TT with a mate & Crescent Hawks Inception on his Commodore 64!

Played in MPBT 3024 on Compuserve (AOL) and payed some Money for the fun.
I mostly was a Steinerboy, maybe because i am from Germany, and i had really fun playing this games.
I almost can't wait for this game to come alive.
See you on the battlefield :-)

I've enjoyed the computer games but honestly I'm not as good a shooter as a planner, but still hoping to contribute where I can.

Have been playing battlefield online since BF 2 (nightly) waiting on the day battletech/mechwarrior returned. seems the wait is nearly over!
Looking for old HH members hoping there will be a reunion of sorts in this version!

Your words ring true Rhino, and I to miss the personal interaction of a good old face to face gaming session.
