It was first published through the now defunct [[MechWarrior: Dark Age Website|website]] that [[WizKids]] maintained in support of their [[MechWarrior: Dark Age]] game line, to support organized play and tournaments. ==Content== ===Scenario 1 - Stiletto=== Until now, [[Jacob Bannson]] has enjoyed a détente with Duke [[Aaron Sandoval]], one of the few people who could seriously threaten his ambition to eventually rule Prefecture IV. With Bannson’s recent foray to [[Ozawa]] in Prefecture III, he decides now is the time to test Duke Sandoval and his [[Swordsworn]], while the Duke believes that Bannson is fully occupied on [[Ozawa]]. Choosing a backwater world with no tactical or strategic importance to avoid riling the Duke too much, Bannson makes his move on [[New Rhodes III]] in a test of the Duke’s determination to control all worlds in Prefecture IV. ===Scenario 2 - Color of Night=== After the initial attack on [[New Rhodes III]], Captain Bradshaw pulls his forces back from Xerxes. He then appears to commit a classic strategic blunder—splitting his forces in the face of the enemy. But he plans to send the smaller force, masquerading as the majority of his forces, to strike at night against one side of Xerxes and then apparently be pushed back. He hopes that the defending [[Swordsworn]] will be unable to resist leaving their defensive position to pursue the “defeated” Raiders. His second, stronger force will then strike from the opposite direction, securing Xerxes. ===Scenario 3 - Burning Sands=== Following the assault on the city, a small portion of the remaining Raiders on the planet attempts to move toward their grounded DropShip, with which they’ve lost contact. With no accurate maps of the area and the endless “sameness” of a desert, however, the force becomes lost, and the terrible heat quickly begins to take its toll. The native nomad warriors, who have accepted the [[Swordsworn]] and pledged to help defeat the Raiders, guide a small contingent of their new [[Swordsworn]] allies to the lost Raiders. As the battle begins, the nomads, though no better equipped than a peasant company, join the fray and quickly prove that they deserve to be called warriors ===Scenario 4 - The Golden Egg=== Having won the initiative against the Raiders, Captain Gerringer decides on an all-out push with his remaining forces in an effort to secure the Raiders’ grounded DropShip. Once again, the heat and sand wreak havoc with his forces, not to mention the incredible offensive and defensive capabilities of a grounded DropShip. He believes, however, that he can take the ship and eliminate the Raiders’ supply line, dooming them. == Featured characters == * [[Jacob Bannson]] * [[Aaron Sandoval (32nd c.)]] * [[Bart Bradshaw]] * [[Ben Gerringer]] == Featured BattleTech == ===BattleMechs=== * ''[[Panther]]'' * ''[[Arbalest]]'' * ''[[IndustrialMech]]'' * ''[[AgroMech]]'' ===Vehicles=== * [[Scimitar]] * [[Maxim Mk II]] Transport * [[Karnov]] UR Transport ===Others=== * ''[[Seeker]]''-class [[DropShip]] == Featured planets == * [[New Rhodes III]] * [[Ozawa]] * [[Tybalt]] * [[Ankaa]] ==Notes== *[https://web.archive.org/web/20240108002549/https://www.warrenborn.com/Files/MWScenarioHandbookv21.pdf/ MechWarrior Age of Destruction Scenario Handbook], as of 7 January 2024 (via Wayback Machine) - Scenario Summaries *[https://www.sarna.net/files/info/docs/products/mwda/scenarios/new_rhodes.pdf Knife in the Dark The Battle for New Rhodes III!] full text (from Sarna download section) [[Category:Real World Events]] [[Category:MWDA Events]]
