Black Rain: The Battle for Addicks is an official scenario pack for the MechWarrior: Dark Age (MWDA) Clix game, containing four scenarios. It was first published through the now defunct LinkNet website that WizKids maintained in support of their MechWarrior: Dark Age game line, to support organized play and tournaments.

Content[edit]
Scenario 1 - Skirmish[edit]
Addicks, rich with oil the Spirit Cats need for their vehicles and IndustrialMechs, has been assigned as a target to support their search for a safe haven. The defending Highlanders, who already successfully defended the world from a Dragon's Fury assault in September 3132, are confident of victory this time as well.
In the current age of conflict, with insurgent forces on every side, commanders never know who they might meet on the field of battle. To better replicate this environment, the various faction leaders have begun ordering their troops to participate in randomized simulator battles before initiating any major conflict. The simulators, fully programmed with the known attributes and tactical styles of the various factions, can then throw any number of scenarios at a given combat unit, forcing them to think on the fly and improving their overall combat ability.
Scenario 2 - Blind Woman's Bluff[edit]
To Star Captain Liz Nostra, mysticism has little to do with the path mapped out for her by fate. Addicks, rich with oil the Spirit Cats will need for their vehicles and IndustrialMechs, has been targeted to support their search for a haven elsewhere. Though her own destiny remains elusive, shrouded in mists of uncertainty, Nostra remains a Clan warrior, and honor demands victory.
Scenario 3 - Siege at the Gates[edit]
The strike at the Addicks oil fields on the Jesara Plains soon proved to be a diversion for Liz Nostra's true target: the capital city of Saint Randall itself. With the defenders focused on protecting the planet's greatest single resource, the Spirit Cats forces manage to land in force close to the planet's administrative command center virtually unchallenged.
Scenario 4 - Urban Jungle[edit]
The battle for Saint Randall became a lingering stalemate, as both the Spirit Cats forces and the Highlander troops called in their reinforcements from across the planet. With both sides desperate to break the deadlock, the battle degenerated into a brutal, close-quarters slugfest in the heart of the capital itself.
