Is the video game fair game here? or is it table top only?

If the video game is fair game...

I've been playing BEX, and I suck at it mostly. I always play Ironman, so that entails lots of restarts. I finally have a merc company that has lasted a bit. I've moved up to 2 and 2.5 skull missions.

Needed some money quickly and took a 1.5 skull mission. Comstar showed up, wiped my lance it was the last mission in my current system, I didn't know what I was going to do to not go bankrupt.

Discovered I had Shadowhawk in cold storage sold it, started taking out my "starter" mechs on half-skull and one-skull missions, I'm starting to become a bit more financially solid again and may have survived afterall.
