The Battle for Buchlau is an official scenario pack for the MechWarrior: Dark Age (MWDA) Clix game, containing two scenarios.

Scenario 1 - Mile-High Battle

With Liao slipping forces onto Republic planets so far from Liao borders, it was only a matter of time before they ran afoul of other factions beyond The Republic. The Swordsworn, looking to expand their influence beyond Prefecture IV, have moved against several worlds in Prefecture V to test the waters.

On the world of Buchlau, a sizable Swordsworn force lands, only to find that a small Liao detachment has already taken the high ground on the massive, kilometer-long plateau on which the capital of Belgrade is situated. Feeling the spark of their renewed feud with House Liao, the Swordsworn attempt to move up the steep sides of the plateau, hoping their superior numbers will make up for the Liao warriors’ entrenched position on the high ground.

Scenario 2 - Mines or Yours

Having gained the plateau, the Swordsworn push forward toward Belgrade with the hope of capturing the city and effectively seizing control of Buchlau. The Capellan forces, however, have seeded the ground with command-detonation mines. What should have been a rout as the numerically superior Swordsworn push the Liao forces off the plateau turns into a nightmare, as the Swordsworn must fight not only their enemies, but also the very ground itself.
