One of the toughest barriers to Battletech for new players, is trying to accurately determine to-hit mods just because there's so much to account for. Leviathans removes that difficulty, because you can just look at your card (grab the correct color die/dice), look at your opponents card (grab another die/dice). It's pretty easy. I don't know how accurately the QSR reflects the actual game, but it was a lot of fun. Also, when crossing the T in the opponents aft, be sure to keep a couple hexes distant or you open yourself up to an unexpected broadside. So stupid of me.
