From the back of the book: 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. User Comment: One of a new pattern of scenario packs produced late in the FASA era, this scenario pack let's you play through a campaign on a planet on the verge of civil war, using either the BattleTech or MechWarrior rules. This scenario pack has more background information and fluff to it than a lot of earlier scenario packs, and doesn't revolve around famous known units of one kind or another. It also includes several pages on modifying the scenario pack to reflect a similar situation in many of the different eras within the BattleTech canon universe, making it more flexible from the outset than many.
