MegaMek is a turn-based strategy game based off of the classic board game Battletech, and while that game is classic, this one may not be.

When you start the game, you have to choose between the Windows or Java BAT files, a selection that may break your game. When you finally get it up, you have two choices: Join Game or Start Game. I was seriously pissed at the lack of single player campaign, or at least a battle-a-bot mode. And to top that all of, you have to find a server port, a process that took me hours.

So when you start the game, you will be placed with you units of choice on a big battlefield, the combat is similar to Battle at Wesnoth, and yet has it's own quirks.
You have a hexagonal battlefield, and fights obviously ensue.

As for the battles, I can't say there is anything wrong. But when it comes to actually playing the game, I'm afraid to say that you have better choices.
