Played my first MegaMek game

[lydiarivera]

Some terrible mistakes when figuring where to jump for cover cost me an Assassin early in the battle, but Princess deployed a Rifleman right between my Stalker & Grasshopper so those losses came out at about the same time.

I take it there's a way to set up a custom company so I don't have to spend so long digging around for models like?

In MegaMek itself, you can save an MUL file of your force before, during, or after a game, and then load it into later games as your "company".  You won't get any persistence of experience, and some stuff (like managing pilots HP) is not yet supported in MM.

If you use MekHQ, you can do all your company management there and spawn all or part of it into MM battles.  I'm not as familiar with that part, though

you can save the MUL file to your force first in MegaMek
