{{quote|''THE [[Inner Sphere|INNER SPHERE]] IN FLAMES
 
 
 
For over 200 years, the five [[Successor States]] of the near legendary [[Star League]] have warred among themselves for dominion over the whole Inner Sphere.  There have been three [[Succession Wars]] to date, but no victor.  The cost of war is high.  The leaders of the Successor states must weigh each maneuver to see whether the gain in territory is worth the loss of 'Mechs.  Only the most ruthless and brilliant leader will emerge as the next [[Star Lord]].
 
 
 
The Succession Wars is a 2- to 5-player game, where each player assumes the role of a House leader.  All the most famous and infamous regiments of the [[BattleTech]] universe are at your command-the elite [[Sword of Light|Kurita Sword of Light]], the [[Davion Brigade of Guards|Davion Guards]], and the mercenary unit [[Wolf's Dragoons]].  The game allows players to fight any Succession War, including the fourth, toward which the Inner Sphere is now building.  The game system is simple and fast, allowing strategy - not the rules - to be the deciding factor.
