Are MBX games just for military buffs or can anybody play?
In theory anybody can play. If you own or are familiar with the computer game being used to model the action, that should be enough to get by. If you don’t own the game but have a firm grounding in basic military jargon and tactics, you’ll have no problem. If you do not fit into either of these categories, you may need to get some quick tutoring in this area. The upside of this is that your teammates will have a definite interest in teaching you.
