Take "Very faithful to tabletop" all the way to "Uber faithful to tabletop". This game actually emulates **every** rule from classic Battletech, mostly transparently. Damage is shown as a simple percentage, but recorded just like the TT game, and persists across campaign sections, so you might find yourself redoing missions because even though you "won", your mechs took too much damage. Firepower for each chassis has a rather obfuscational adjective rating; light, moderate, heavy, brutal, incredible. Having your Javelin go from heavy close range damage to None comes as a bit of a shock until you realize that the game tracks ammo levels as well... having that same Javelin go from Hot to Shutdown to suddenly explode because the heat caused the missile ammo to cook off is also a surprise. (Like a said, it follows the tabletop rules to the letter). Surprisingly in-depth (if you're somewhat familiar with the original rules), a loooong two-part campaign with an engrossing story; and when you complete it, you're rewarded with permanent access to the Kell Hound's training grounds, where you can recreate any company sized engagement (12 units per side), using any mechs or tanks from the 3025 Technical Readout... totally awesome.

This game is great fun and is very faithful to the original tabletop game, but OMFG it gets hard... just be ready for that.
