Operation: Flashpoint

The year is 3063. The FedCom Civil War had begun. The fight extends through the Federated space. Brother against sister, families divided... in the planet Kaumberg, the local nobility was too divided between both sides. And after an ambitious pro-lyran noble launch a surprise attack against the Pro-Davion leaders, a mercenary unit on planet had to choose side, no matter what they want. They will join the pro-Davion side? ¿Or the lyran? His decision may change the destiny of the planet. And, like this, Operation Flashpoint has begun.

From the back cover
"Take your own unit through an epic campaign set against the backdrop of the cataclysmic civil war engulfing the two most powerful Houses in the BattleTech Universe.

Now the government of Kaumberg is dissolving beneath the strife that rocks the Inner Sphere...will your unit survive when brother begins to fight brother?

Operation: Flashpoint goes beyond the traditional BattleTech scenario packs. Rather than reliving historical exploits of established units, this book allows you to carve your own swath through the chaos that threatens to rip a planet apart."
