Do you remeber your first game? What was it like and how did you do?
My first time,I was in the Persian Gulf kicking ass on the Roosevelt and I ran into some guys playing. I asked if I could join and lucky for me this guy had a Vinticator who had a 6/7 pilot. I walked my mech on the board late since these guys had already started without me, and I took my first shot.
I had a loucust. that had it's back to me at long range. My PPC had connected in the center torso rear and I blew out the engine. the only thing that prevented me from coring him was the front armor. So my first shot was my first kill. Was I hooked, you bet!
That character went on to form my first and only merc unit.

Actually, we were supposed to play D&D that day. My bro(the DM) got sick, so Hardware pulled out his rulebook and a few minis that he had. I had seen the game played at TotalCon that year and thought it was way cool! He took a Stinger and I took the Wasp. All I remember for sure was that I lost (and lost a limb in the process). The next game I had a Wolverine and I beat him in some mech. I was hooked. My bro came down cellar feeling a bit better by the afternoon and I had to explain to him we now had a new game to play every week

My roommates girlfriend. They needed a place to play. and I was bored. So they set-up a game. And gave me the run down on how to play.
The game was on a standard map. I chose a Jenner. They both chose Commandos (Actully, She chosed, He agreed. Kinda of a hint of how the game would go) As the game started I realized that He was not really playing. But just doing what she said to do. That is when I learned that a Jenners best defense. Is it's speed. I lost of course. But I trashed one of them before the other took me out with a alpha. But I was hooked from then on.

Way way back, it was at a TotalCon at Clark University, I joined a B'tech session being run. I wanted to get my feet wet and learn the game. Someone had brought a big 3D map made from a base of foam insulation. Lots of notable players. Tom Fisher, Pinhead, Casey and some guy named Steve. Anyhow, there was a big hill in the center of the map. Our company was going to have to assault the hill since the other company was already on it. I think the Captain of the other company walked his Battlemaster up to partial cover at the peak of the hill. I fired a single LRM salvo from my Crusader. Hit him and got 12 out of 15 with two head hits.
Oh yeah, I was hooked.

Yeah, thanks Hardware. If you hadn't played in that game, I probably would've never picked it up. I would today have a lot more money and time on my hands too!
Although I probably would've spent it on D&D.

1st Ed absolutely! I've still got all my old books, does anyone still play? Har Har, yeah right. At least they somewhat immortalized it with the new HackMaster stuff.

1st Ed. is the best and funnest of all Editions. I've played all of them. I've been DM'ing ove 23 years and I still love it.
