We are a bunch of older gamers who have been playing computer games since the dawn of computer games and computer gaming. There is probably not a single game that some of us haven't played. Today, however we live normal lives with our families, but still have time for gaming together. With World of Tanks we play just for fun, and have no real interest in competitions. After all, it is just a game, and if some pixels doesn't blink the way you want is the worst thing that happens to you on a day - we consider that to be a very good day.
So far, we haven't played a single Clan Wars Battle, and do not really have the ambition to do so either. Whenever we happen to be seven people playing the same evening, we might play 7-man skirmish for a while. More commonly we are usually 4-6 clan members in the channel, and thus we play "click-platoons" where the main goal of course is to kill the other clan members if they end up in the opponents' team.
