Once the Clans show up, things get crazier than Manson Family picnic. This is a good pre-Clan look into the fluff. BATTLETECHs first-ever expansion adds new gameplay, depth, and over 30 hours of new content to your mercenary experience. Some of the fallout from WotB is picked up here. It also has a tendency to “skip to the end” instead of the narrative covering big battles. Because of its long span, it touches on events covered in other books. It focuses on Theodore Kurita and spans from 30teens to the conclusion of the War of ‘39. Note: Wolf Pack deals with some of the more lasting fallout of this book, but occurs after the Clan Invasion. Events here have a direct impact on the Fourth Succession War. Good looks into life in the Combine and in the Dragoons. Wolves on the Border plays out between the Wolf’s Dragoons and the Draconis Combine. Bonus points for the first story appearance of Solaris. Gives a good look at the Federated Suns, Capellan Confederation, and glimpses into the Draconis Combine and Lyran Commonwealth.

I got an assasin and an M-coil in the goodypack you get at start. The Gray Death Saga is in my opinion a good baseline with that barebones “3025” feel. This tread made me start up this game again, get the DLC's and try out career mode.

"Flashpoints embroil players in the feuds and machinations of the various Great Houses of the Inner Sphere, and are designed to keep even the most hardened mercenary commanders on their toes.
