Back a couple years ago we had a local youth group ran by this one nice man and his grandson.

We used to play Call of Duty LAN tournaments, Guitar Hero, Magic the Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, and The table top figurine version of Mech Warrior.

Sadly the town cut the budget for it but I still remember and see some of my friends from there.

I apologize for the tangent.

Classic Battletech or the Wizkids one?

I like the old hex based Classic Battletech 8)

Little bit of both depends on the house rules of the day.

I used Banson's Raiders.

It's great to see the game is being kept around. I have so many fond memories of Mechwarrior and Battletech. There was a short animated series based on the clan invasion, which at the age of five or something, was how I first got into it. It was actually pretty good. I think my favourite Mechwarrior game was number 3, though.

I remember the show vaguely. Where I lived at the time it was on around the same time as sonic/beastwars/transformers if i remember correctly

Cool! I was actually working at Microsoft and on the official software test team for MW4.
