20, started off with the first Mechcommander as a little one and then moved on to MW3 after a while, have tried most of the games released after that.

22 in April. My dad was the one to get me into the BT/MW scene. My biggest experience was with the MechWarrior clicks tabletop game. I kicked *** on that game. I remember one time I set up a 1000pt battle and despite having lost the game, I made a suicide charge with my all but disabled mech(not sure who/what it was, but was broken to the point that the only thing it could do was charge attacks) against an Atlas and crit, dealing 6 damage(4 after Hardened Armor) against its pristine paint job. Was an epic end to a glorious defeat. I miss MechWarrior clicks...

I'm 39. Started with the original btech 3025 books, pen and paper play. Saw the first mechwarrior on PC... Couln't play it since I had a c64. This must have been back in the late 80's.

Love the whole thing developed by FASA. I'm just hopin that they'll incorporate more kinds of units over time. Would love to be able to play a von luckner tank or a hetzer, how how about playing as a anti-mech infantry squad in a cityfight.

Salute!

I'm 65 years old. I am a Combat Disabled Vietnam Veteran seriously wounded in 1967 while on a sniper mission in the Central Highlands. I've played MWsince 1999. I created the DSA in 2000 and worked very hard at building the Mercenary Force that DSA became. I commanded the DSA for all those years and have only recently stepped aside for younger DSA Members to advance up the CoC. I am now Grand Prior of DSA, a Senior Advisor and still a main driving force with-in the unit. I have always been particularly interested in the Factions and Clans, the politics and the intergue that MW has brought to this community. I shall always be supportive of this genre. MW is beyond doubt a game that has continued to captured my interest over all these years. DSA is now nearing Company Strength once again. This will be the third time DSA has risen to the cause. Our current DSA Officers are doing a fine job with Recruitment and encouraging all DSA Members to remain active and engaged until MWO is finally launched. I'll turn 66 in August. I'll be there ready, willing and most able.

Regards to all the friends I've made over the years!

One advantage games like this brings to the eldery, is that no one gives a real deal if youre old or not. What matters if youre killable in the battlefield or not. Games like this makes people younger, bringing up the good old and never-aging adrenaline. <_<

Im 22 btw.

I was in my twenties when the TT rules came out. I'll let you do the math.

Hoping that when the dust settles that the vast majority of the regulars are well more mature (in thought if not in body) than your "average" internet user. But we are talking a F2P game and , well... there's always a mute and hopefully an ignore button.

Turned 20 a few weeks ago. Found MW4 in a dusty old pile, went '*** is this?' fired it up and never, ever went back. Got myself immersed in the canon. Sadly though, only been with it a few years (About 6) but I'm getting there.

Battletech is still my favourite tabletop game of all time though.

32, been playing tabletop for ages and gone through most of the videogames.

I miss MW2: mercs... I wish it didn't look so awful on a modern computer but none of the more recent games have been quite as much fun, save maybe MW3.
