53 here, and just so that you know, at the UK tank battles we have an age range of 15-60+. The age doesn't make a difference, the younger ones appreciate the experience of the 'more mature' members, and the older ones enjoy the impetuous rantings of the youthful ones (we were all that age once!).

It's a great hobby, and compared to many that I have had, it offers the best smile/satisfaction per buck that I have known.
