In one of my playthroughs, I did get the Atlas but lost a pilot. Nope. Re-do.
If I did play it in an
"Ironman" mode, I'd be in so much trouble
I console myself with the fact that the tabletop rules are so much more clearer than this game's implementation so while I can make better tactical moves and decisions in the tabletop game, I'll resort to save-loading the PC version as I learn the modified rules.
