==Description==
 
==Description==
The year is [[3063]]. The [[FedCom Civil War]] had begun. The fight extends through the Federated space. Brother against sister, families divided... on [[Kaumberg]], the local nobility was too evenly divided. 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. Will they join the pro-Davion side? Or the Lyran? His decision may change the destiny of the planet.
 
 
And, like this, Operation Flashpoint has begun.

{{quote|''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.''}}
