The worlds of the Imperium of Man number in the thousands. The different environments and types of planets are incomprehensible to the average human mind. In this vast array of worlds, many are completely alien to that which human life sprang. The Lex Imperialis is a set of laws dictated by the God-Emperor himself. These laws require all those who claim to rule in his name to protect that which belongs to Him-On-Terra. The Lex Imperialis makes no difference between worlds inhabited by primitive barbarians, and those covered in factories. It makes no difference between worlds that are rock, those that are gas, or those that are water. The Imperial Governors who are given the right to rule, are also given charged to protect his realms from the heretic, the xeno, and the wyrd. In a galaxy wracked by war, the duty laid out in the Lex-Imperialis is not just an idle command. It is a divine imperative. The future of the human race lies in the balance. Amongst this vast array of worlds, are those that are made up primarily of liquids. The most common is water, but some are composed of liquid methane, molten metal, or worse. In such an environment, the only true way to provide protection is with a navy. Only a navy can allow the Imperial Governor to show the Aquilla wherever the inhabitants of his world go. Only a navy can project the Emperors will to all corners of his liquefied planet. Only a navy can interdict and stop invaders that try to thwart the will of the GodEmperor of Mankind on such worlds.

May his divine Majesty rule the waves across the galaxy.

++The Scourge of Ammoriss++

The Imperium of Man spans millions of worlds. Of these millions of worlds lies an infinite variety of planets so vast that a bureaucracy of trillions toils endlessly to keep track of each individual world. Many of these worlds are covered by vast expanses of liquid oceans. Some are balls of water, like those of ancient Terra; while others are barely imaginable nightmares of nature. These worlds, like all worlds in the Imperium of Man must be defended from the heretic, the chaotic, and the filthy xeno. These ocean bound worlds must be kept pure of taint like any other. It is each Imperial Governors utmost duty to protect his realms, and on these ocean bound worlds the only way is with an ocean Navy.

Welcome to Aquanautica Imperialis, the game of fast paced naval battles in the Warhammer 40K universe. This booklet is designed to assist you get a basic understanding of the rules by playing a few games. The scenarios and forces used here are just a sampling of the excitement ahead of you as giant surface vessels bring their massive guns to bear on each other to gain dominance of the seas. What You Will Need In order to play the scenarios in this book, you will need the following items: Aquanautica Imperialis Rules This booklet

Ammoriss is a world geographically similar to ancient Holy Terra, before the time of the GodEmperors reign. Much of the planet is composed of vast expanses of water, with two primary continents. One land mass is located in the North with a second continent in the southern hemisphere. The remaining land masses are scatter archipelagos and islands. Over half of the planets surface is water. The Northern landmass tends to be more heavily industrialized and urbanized than its Southern counterpart. The Southern continent is primarily agriculturally based. The two different economic and political structures of these two continents has led to simmering tensions, that have been mostly suppressed by the Imperial Governor and other agents of the Imperium on Ammoriss.

However, these long held tensions appear to have boiled over, as element of South Ammoriss have moved into armed rebellion against the rule of the Imperium of Man. As a result, the navies of the North and South have both taken to the seas to defend their homeland from potential invaders. Confusion around the insurrection has cut off communication to the Southern capital of Pierefoy. What elements of the South Ammoriss PDF remained loyal, and which are in rebellion is unclear. The threat of Chaos, the Great Enemy; looms like a shadow over the seas of Ammoriss. It is up to you to help determine the fate of this world! Will the chaos rebels overthrow the oppressive rule of the false-emperor, or will the loyal forces of the Ammoriss Navy suppress the rebels and keep Ammoriss in the benevolent light of the Emperor?

The Threat of Chaos In the dark times of the 41st Millennia, there are ancient, extra-dimensional dangers that threaten the very existence of humanity. Adjacent to the mortal realm, lays the Realm of Chaos. It is conventionally known as the Warp. Few know of its true nature, but without the alternate realm know as the Warp, the Imperium of Man could not exist. Entrance and exit through the warp allows faster than light travel, but at great risk. For the warp, is home to things that should not be. It is the home of predators that feed on the souls of mortals. However, these demons of the warp are wily and clever. They crave nothing more than the chance to enter the realm of real space to wreak havoc. To this end, Demons reach out and try to seduce mens minds with offers of power, immortality, and other miraculous gifts. These lures can seduce the weak willed from the divine truth of the Emperors godhood, and turn them from him. These individuals are truly the lost and the damned. It is through these cursed men and women that the demons of Chaos influence the mortal realm. Demons feed on extreme emotion, and in order to feed their lustful masters the minions of chaos will stoop to any level of depravity. Whether it is slaughtering the innocent, defiling holy temples to the Emperor, or even summoning the vile creatures of chaos to physically manifest; nothing is to heinous a deed for the followers of chaos.

The Story Thus Far The commanders of the South Ammoriss Navy recognized that they could not match the industrial capacity of the North when it came to battleship production. The Southern planners realized that the North relied on imports of raw materials and foodstuffs for its survival. If these imports from the outlying areas of Ammoriss to the North could be cut off or stopped, the Norths industrial advantage could be neutralized. As a result, the Admiralty of the Southern Ammoriss forces focused their attention on building a handful of fast, powerful battleships to act as surface raiders. These battleships were never intended to go head to head with the larger battleships of the North Ammoriss fleet. However, they were expected to go toe-to-toe with Northern cruisers and lighter units, as those were the only forces capable of catching up with the Southern fast battleships. The Pride of Pierefoy was one of these battleships. Made with the most modern construction techniques and armed with the latest weapon systems, the most powerful reactors, the strongest armor, and the latest electronics. She was the pride of the South Ammoriss fleet. Two months before the rebellion broke out the Pride of Pierefoy was sent on a world tour by the South Ammoriss Naval Command. Along with an accompanying surface fleet, the majestic craft sailed to some of the major ports around the various archipelagos, industrial platforms, and

rebellious battleships location, so larger forces could be routed to sink her. The Scourge of Ammoriss was now priority one. The hunt for the Scourge of Ammoriss was on! The Scourge of Ammoriss Unbeknownst to the loyal PDF commanders of the North was the true threat that the Scourge of Ammoriss presented. The crew of the mighty vessel had been enticed and seduced by the sublime whispers of a Greater Demon of Tzeentch the Changer of Ways. Their desperate desire for the toppling of the North and raising of South Ammoriss to superiority had been tapped into and exploited by the foul demon. For months, a secret cabal of officers aboard the ship spread vile whispers and organized illicit sermons. Secretly, the cabal spread until most of the crew were involved, and those officers still loyal to the Emperor were removed via accidents and outright murder. During the world cruise of the Pride of Pierefoy the Greater Demon of Tzeentch; Manzikirt revealed to the ships captain a sacred rite that would make his ship invincible. While the ship was at sea no one could detect the level of insidious corruption that oozed inside her armored hull.

islands of Ammoriss. The Pride of Pierefoy made anchor and began resupplying and refitting in the free ports of the Zeek Islands. The authorities registered strange occurrences around the wharf and waterfront district near the new battleship, and duly reported them to the South Ammoriss authorities. Two days before the official break out of the rebellion, the Pride of Pierefoy slipped out of the harbor to the open ocean. No official departure notice was ever received. Days later, the Ammoriss Insurrection began as the South Ammoriss rebels began their campaign with an assault on the southern capital of Pierefoy. Immediately NavComm North, the naval command center for the North Ammoriss Navy went to high alert. They began sending cruiser squadrons across the oceans to find and determine the loyalties of any South Ammoriss Navy units still at sea. It was imperative to quickly find and neutralize any Southern ship to protect the flow of imports to the North. The location of the Pride of Pierefoy was unknown. However, that didnt last long. A very brief vox communication from the merchant ship Grace revealed to the admirals at NavComm that the Pride of Pierefoy was a foe and not a friend. She was quickly re-designated the Scourge of Ammoriss and immediately, a nearby task force was dispatch to fix the

The rite culminated just outside the harbor of the Zeek Islands. The crew and their battleship slipped away from port preparing for the coming anarchy. After a ritual of unspeakable horrors and mind destroying warp craft, the crew and captain completed the secret rite given to them by Manzikirt. The Demon chortled merrily as he merged with the rebels battleship and filled it with his warp crafted will. The foolish mortals were no match for his awesome might, and they were sealed to their posts, unable to move, but still entirely conscious of the unspeakable evil that they had unleashed. Most went instantly insane. The captain himself stood frozen to the deck plates, a blasphemous grimoire welded to his hand, his eyes sealed open for eternity, a silent scream stuck forever in his throat. The demon had given the captain and crew what he promised, a powerful vessel the likes of which the oceans of Ammoriss had ever seen, but the cost was their souls. They were all damned. Manzikirt was now free to roam and wreak

destruction on the material world. The corruption of his presence quickly twisted and warped the strongest metals in the universe into insane parodies of their former self. The barrels of cannons twisted and warped into the insane gargoyle like bird heads ready to spew gouts of magic laced flames at Manzikirts foes. The armor plates of the ships hull buckled and shifted as the mighty symbol of Tzeentch formed along the bow. Flickering tongues of pink and blue flames ensconced the ship in their protective embrace, making the vessel dance and wave to the mortal eye. A fowl psychic blast of warp energy resonated around the world as the demon laughed at its triumph. Quickly, the demon-vessel reached out with its mind and located the soul lights of his first victims. With a surge of willpower, the mighty screws of the battleship twisted and turned. They chopped the water with abandon as the Scourge of Ammoriss sliced through the oceans of Ammoriss like a corrupted scalpel. The thoughts of the Greater Demon of Tzeentch were focused on one goal. Kill mortals.

This campaign will follow the story of the Scourge of Ammoriss and her impact on the rebellion. Before you begin playing, it is a good idea to have reviewed the Aquanautica Imperialis rules and this campaign pack so you are familiar with them. In addition, you will need one player to volunteer to play as the Scourge of Ammoriss and the other to be ready to play as the Ammoriss Naval PDF. Essentially, a campaign is a linked series of battles that try to tell a story. The results that occur in one battle will influence what direction the campaign takes. There are many types of campaigns. The campaign presented in this packet is a modified ladder campaign. Essentially, victory in one battle will determine what the next battle will be. In addition, events that occur in one battle may carry-over and effect future battles. This is the campaign outlined in this book. Campaign Rules Later in this book, we will detail each individual step in the campaign. That section will detail the forces involved, any special rules, how to win, setting up the battle, and how you determine the winner. At this point, here are some overall rules to keep in mind while playing the campaign. 1. The first and most important rule is to have fun. Whats winning and losing if both players cant walk away from the table and say that they had fun. That means try to keep disagreements to a minimum in order to keep the game flowing. If in doubt, be generous to your opponent. If there is a rules dispute that cannot be resolved, then roll a d6. On a 1-3 the person

who rolled wins the argument. After the battle refer to the rulebook and work out an agreement for playing the rest of the campaign. 2. The Scourge of Ammoriss is a possessed Devoted Class Battleship ship with the Mark of Tzeentch.

Possession means the ship cannot be boarded or launch boarding actions of its own. Possession means that the ship cannot become crippled if reduced to half damage. Mark of Tzeentch means all shots at the Scourge of Ammoriss are treated as obscured.
3. The Scourge of Ammoriss is a possessed ship, and hence has no repair crews to fix her in between battles. The powerful warp magiks of Manzikirt and the nature of possession do allow the Scourge to try and heal her damage in unnatural ways. After each battle, roll a d6 for every damage point the battleship has received. Each dice roll of 4+ will heal one damage point for the next battle. For example, after Mission 1: The Enemy Revealed the Scourge of Ammoriss has taken two points of damage, which leaves eight damage points remaining. Before beginning Mission 2, the player for the Scourge of Ammoriss rolls two d6 as that is the number of damage points inflicted on the ship. He rolls a 4 and a 3. That means at the beginning of the next battle the Scourge of Ammoriss will have nine damage points instead of the usual ten for a battleship. Critical Hits do not carry over from battle to battle.

Mission 1: ++The Enemy Revealed++

A matter of days after the commencement of the Southern Rebellion the Scourge of Ammoriss struck! NavComm North pick-up a weak vox transmission from a chain of small islands Southwest of the Zeek Islands. The signal was garbled and difficult to decipher. However, crypto-analysis from the Office of Strategic Intelligence soon confirmed high commands worst fears. The message was word from the merchant ship Grace. She was sinking. The last feeble transmission was unmistakable. The Scourge of Ammoriss had been the culprit NavComm North immediately scrambled a naval Taskforce to the region. The force was hastily put together from units in the area. The orders received such urgency that the new force did not even receive a name. They were simply designated Taskforce 257. Their mission was to sail to the region and pin down the location of the Scourge of Ammoriss.

This mission is designed to play out what happened to Task Force 257 on their mission to locate the Scourge of Ammoriss.

++The Objectives++
The Scourge of Ammoriss wants to avoid detection for as long as possible. Given time, she can break out into the main sea lanes to North Ammoriss and wreak havoc on the merchant ships found there. However, Task Force 257 is trying to locate her and communicate word of her location to NavComm, so further mainline naval units can be deployed to sink the Scourge. For the Scourge of Ammoriss to win, no enemy ships maybe allowed to leave the board. If the taskforce does not escape the board in 6 turns, they will be assumed destroyed by the battleship. For Taskforce 257 to win, at least one ship from the force must successfully flee the far table edge. Once successfully off the board, the surviving ship will be able to open a channel to NavComm North and relay the coordinates of the Scourge of Ammoriss.

++Scenario++
It is early morning and a thick fog has still settled over the ocean. As a result, visibility has been reduced. Taskforce 257 is maneuvering through an area of ocean that is home to a number of small rocky atolls and shallow water. It makes the perfect situation for a larger ship to set upon smaller and faster foes. The commodore of Taskforce 257 knows this, and so does Manzikirt of the Scourge of Ammoriss. The Scourge of Ammoriss knows the location and presence of the Taskforce through foul warp divinations. However, the Taskforce is unaware of the lurking danger. The possessed battleship has found an ideal ambush location behind a small island located to the south. Meanwhile, Taskforce 257 creeps carefully through the corridor of ocean created by the islands. If the Scourge is sighted, the Task Forces only chance is to flee into the cover of the fog banks.

++The Board++
The board should be at least 3 ft. by 3ft. in order to play this scenario. If you choose to use a larger board, some of the set-up rules will need to be reviewed before playing the Mission. In addition, you will want to set up the board with one medium sized island on the bottom/South side of the board at the midway point. Next, you will want to scatter some additional terrain on the board. Two medium sized islands and a couple of rocky outcroppings should be sufficient. Taskforce 257 should begin on the west side of the board. At the center of the board should be the Sea Sprite, with either escort squadron positioned up to 6 inches away on either side. The Taskforce should be situated along the board edge. The Scourge of Ammoriss should be deployed behind the island to the south. That would put her along the southern board edge and out of direct line of sight from the Taskforce.

++The Battle++
In this mission the Taskforce cannot make any special commands until the start of turn 2, since they are being ambushed. The Scourge of Ammoriss will be allowed to activate first. The battle will last 6 turns. After the End phase of the 6th turn, the game will be over. Determine which side has met their victory conditions.

Mission 2A: ++Sink the Rebels++

***This battle will only occur if the North Ammoriss Naval PDF met their mission objectives for Mission 1.*** Taskforce 257 succeeded in their mission to locate the Scourge of Ammoriss. A hurried vox message sped to its destination at Admirals Island. From their, NavComm North planned their next move. Ammoriss. The captains of the two ships were hastily briefed via vox. The ships were pulled off station blockading the South Ammoriss military port at the Zeek Islands, and made all possible speed to intercept the Scourge of Ammoriss.

NavComm North quickly responded. The Reliable class cruiser Duke of Iron and the Dependable class cruiser Prince of Fire were tasked with intercepting the Scourge of

This new taskforce was designated Aquila Strike. This mission is designed to play out the encounter between the Scourge of Ammoriss and Taskforce Aquila Strike.

++The Objectives++
This mission is a standard engagement between large fleet elements; it represents the ideal of naval warfare as envisioned by admiralty staff. Force Aquila Strike is focused on sending the Scourge of Ammoriss to the bottom and removing her as a threat to the commerce of North Ammoriss. They can do this by removing all of her damage points.

The Scourge of Ammoriss on the other hand wants to bypass the conflict as much as possible and join with his fellow followers of chaos. However, Manzikirt knows that he cannot leave these foes to his rear. They must be engaged and destroyed or crippled. If left in a crippled state, the loyalist ships will be unable to continue a credible pursuit. The Scourge would be free to meet up with allied fleet elements and engage in a reign of terror on the oceans of Ammoriss.

++Scenario++
As dusk begins to creep across the ocean, the spotters on the loyalist Taskforce make out the flickering outline of the Scourge of Ammoriss on the horizon. The captain of the strike force quickly decides to engage before the onset of night makes a proper engagement impossible.

++The Board++
Like the previous Mission, this one should be carried out on a three foot by three foot board or larger. If the board size is increased, you may want to modify the starting points or number of turns for each force. The board should have a good spread of terrain to act as obstacles and obstructions. Typically, one medium sized island near the center top/bottom, and three to four smaller pieces around the edges.

TaskForce Aquila Strike should start the battle on the west side of the board. The two ships should be placed on the board edge at any point and within 2 inches of the board edge.
The Scourge of Ammoriss should start along the board edge on the opposite side as Taskforce Aquila Strike.

++The Battle++
Follow the normal rules found in the Aquanautica Imperialis rulebook for determining initiative and starting a battle. The battle will end after 6 turns. At the end of the End Phase of the 6th turn the battle stops. Determine who met their victory conditions.

Mission 2B: ++Bombardment++

***This battle will only occur if the Scourge of Ammoriss accomplished her mission objectives for Mission 1.*** After mercilessly dismantling the loyalist Taskforce 257 ship by ship, the Scourge of Ammoriss was determined to taste more death. Through his warp divination, Manzikirt knew that the humans would try to track him using one of their Augur installations. If he was going to successfully break out into the trade routes, he would need to disable their tracking station and blind the Ammoriss Navy to his movements. He cast his malign Warp eye around and discovered where the greatest danger. The only tracking station that could track him was located on the tiny island of Regs Drift. The mighty warship rolled lazily to her new course and began to pile on the speed. At Regs Drift Mazikert would taste human suffering, and he was eager for it.

++The Objectives++
Manzikirt has chosen to try and blind his enemies so he can proceed unmolested to the convoy routes to North Ammoriss. In order to do this, he will need to eliminate the Scanner installation at Regs Drift. This can be accomplished with a coordinated and effective bombardment of the site. The installation is lightly armored and defended. The Scourge of Ammoriss must reduce the shore target to 0 damage points to consider it destroyed. However, the installation is not completely defenseless. A flotilla of patrol boats keeps unwanted visitors at bay and to patrol the local waters. The Flotilla knows they are no match for the Scourge of Ammoriss one on one, but they may be able to delay the battleship and prevent her from completely destroying the Scanner facility under their protection.

++Scenario++
The scanning station at Regs Drift had plenty of early warning. The scan operators had spent at least an hour watching the enemy battleship approach on their scopes. NavComm North had advised them that no capital ships would be available to support them in time. The station officer had commenced evacuation of all nonessential personnel, but mostly they were huddled in the interior of Regs drift around a small tent city. There were few places on the island that they could go.

++The Board++
This Mission is designed to be played on a three foot by three foot board. It may be played on a larger board, but you will want to modify the mission set up to ensure playability. In this Mission, the primary objective is the radar installation on Regs Drift. Therefore, place an island or lands edge piece in the southwest corner of the board touching the board edge. Then place a scattering of small islands, rocky atolls, and shallow water in a ring around the island from the center of the west board edge to the center of the south board edge. There should be 2-4 of these obstacles. The Scourge of Ammoriss will start the battle in the northeast corner of the board touching the board edge. The Escort groups can start anywhere on the board as long as they are 18 away from the Scourge of Ammoriss at the start of the battle.

Meanwhile, the bases flotilla casted off from the small pier and headed out to sea. The seamen on board were convinced they would never touch dry land again. They dutifully loaded torpedoes and prepped their weapons to face the oncoming monstrosity.

++The Battle++
Follow the normal rules found in the Aquanautica Imperialis rulebook for determining initiative and starting a battle. The Scanner Installation may not go on special orders such as Brace for Impact. However, it can make armor saves to prevent damage as normal. Once the shore target is reduced to 0 damage points it is considered destroyed. The battle will end after 6 turns. At the end of the End Phase of the 6th turn the battle stops. Determine who met their victory conditions.

Mission 3: ++Escape Pursuit++

After the Scourge of Ammorisss daring attacks and escapes from sinking, NavComm North decided to throw all of their local naval might into the pursuit. Dozens of capital ships began combing the ocean to find and engage the demon vessel. These vessels were organized into adhoc groups called Picket Lines. Their task was to locate and sink the Scourge of Ammoriss before she could reach the primary trade lines. Despite the number of vessels engaged in the pursuit, not all avenues could be covered. Gaps would be left open. Where possible, NavComm North covered the gaps with lighter forces. If the Scourge of Ammoriss was sighted. This lighter forces could call on the enhanced firepower of a nearby Picket Line. For her part, the Scourge of Ammoriss steamed south and west to try and break through the enemy picket lines and unite with her fellow rebel ships. Of course, the greater demon that guided her was eager to sink any merchant or loyalist ship that crossed its path. However, escape was her primary concern. It was inevitable, that the loyalists and the cursed crafted would meet in battle once more.

++The Objectives++
Manzikirt could feel his foes closing in on him. Part of him craved to turn into them and destroy them under his guns, but his diabolical intellect restrained his more beastly tendencies. He knew he was outnumbered and his best chance was to break through their lines and make for friendlier waters. With the support of his human followers and their ships, he would be able to strike a more lasting blow against the false emperor. Looking into the warp, he could see that the loyalists were going to try and pen him in at a nearby strait. The locals had a name for it, but he didnt care. Passage through this strait was the most direct line to the southern continent, and his waiting allies. His enemies were going to try and block him from passage. Now it was a race against time, if he could get through the straits he would be free. If he was penned in, he would have to make a costly detour around a large island chain. He had to get through. The Scourge of Ammoriss must make it off the opposite board edge.

++Scenario++
The exact route the Scourge of Ammoriss would take was unclear to the admiralty staff at NavComm North. There were a number of possibilities depending on what the possessed crafts aims were. As a result, several picket lines were organized to block the most likely routes. The Straits of Khaled were one of the shortest passages to get south, provided that was where the enemy wished to go. However, it seemed outside of the steaming range of the Scourge of Ammorisss last estimated position. As a result, a submarine was assigned to watch the strait. As the third night of the pursuit approached ANS Hunter H-432 voxed an urgent message to Picket Line Hemlock. The Scourge of Ammoriss was located steaming on a course for the strait. Picket Line Hemlock immediately responded, and made speed to the straits to block the Scourge before nightfall.

++The Board++
This mission uses a three foot by three foot board. Of course you can use a larger board if you wish, but some mission parameters may need to be modified for a successful mission. The board should be roughly divided in half with a large coastal land mass touching the north and south board edge, with a 12 inch wide gap between them in the center of the board. No other terrain is required, however players may mutually agree to add more. The Scourge of Ammoriss will start the game touching the board edge of the east side. Picket Line Hemlock will start the game off the board, in reserve.

++The Battle++
The Scourge of Ammoriss will begin the game, but cannot use any special orders until turn 2. Picket Line Hemlock is beginning the game off the board, in reserve. During the End Phase of each turn roll a d6 for each ship/squadron, on a 4+, it can be set up anywhere on the western board edge. The ship/squadron may be activated as normal in the following turn. The battle will end after 6 turns. At the end of the End Phase of the 6th turn the battle stops. Determine who met their victory conditions.

Mission 4A: ++Send Her to the Bottom!++

***This mission will only occur if the North Ammoriss PDF completes their mission objective for Mission 3.*** After Manzikirts failure to run the strait of Khaled, he was forced to engage in a long detour around the Khaled island chain. The Ammoriss Navy was keen to pursue, and remnants of Picket Line Hemlock and other nearby picket lines formed into Pursuit Group Aquila Ascendant. The new pursuit group doggedly tracked the Scourge of Ammoriss in an attempt to sink the craft before she could shake them loose again. Tzeentch be praised, for the situation had changed dramatically. The Scourge of Ammoriss had recalculated her chances. They were greatly diminished, but not impossible. She was still a powerful warship, and more than a match against any individual Ammoriss Naval Ship that was pursuing her. However, now, her best asset was speed. Manzikirt knew that outrunning the enemy was his best chance. Firepower would be secondary. A rebel force had made contact, all she had to do was make the rendezvous point.

Note: This vehicle may submerge. ***If each player agrees, the ships involved in this mission could be any surviving ship from the previous mission. For additional fun, you could force surviving ships from Mission 3 to follow the repair rules that the Scourge of Ammoriss must follow between battles. Any ship that could not carry over from Mission 3 would simply be replaced with the ones listed above.

++The Objectives++
The Scourge of Ammoriss must break away from her pursuers and escape from under their guns. To do this, she needs to outrun them off the opposite board edge, as they try to close in and finish her off once and for all.

++Scenario++
Pursuit Group Aquila Ascendant finally made up the distance on the Scourge of Ammoriss with some skillful seamanship and navigational trickery. Now, the men of the Ammoriss Naval PDF were determined to make good on their efforts. The demon ship had been remarkably resilient, but all the captains involved were confident that the Scourge of Ammoriss would be sent to the bottom this time. The only flaw in their planning was an unexpected squall that was blowing in from the west. If the enemy battleship could make it into the storm, the AN ships would be unable to finish her off.

++The Board++
This mission uses a three foot by three foot board. Of course you can use a larger board if you wish, but some mission parameters may need to be modified for a successful mission. I recommend placing a coastal land mass or two along the north edge of the board to represent the Khaled island chain. Scatter two or three other pieces of terrain randomly on the board. The Scourge of Ammoriss should begin the game 6 inches from the eastern board edge. Pursuit Group Aquila Ascendant should start the battle in the lower southeastern board section, with their sterns touching the southern board edge. The two cruisers should be 4-6 inches apart.

++The Battle++
Follow the normal rules found in the Aquanautica Imperialis rulebook for determining initiative and starting a battle.

The battle will end after 6 turns. At the end of the End Phase of the 6th turn the battle stops. Determine who met their victory conditions.

Mission 4B: ++Convoy Raid++

***This mission will only occur if the Scourge of Ammoriss completes her mission objective for Mission 3.*** The surprising speed in which the Scourge of Ammoriss broke through the Imperial picket lines shocked the Ammoriss Admiralty. Despite the overwhelming Naval force focused on stopping her, the Chaos vessel had done next to the impossible. Unfortunately, this left the shipping lanes open to the Scourge of Ammorisss predations. It was the shipping lanes to North Ammoriss that provided the material for the Loyalists to continue to prosecute their war effort against the Chaos rebels. If the supply lines were disrupted,. it could lead to dire consequences The admirals in NavComm North had all ready ordered merchant shipping into convoys for mutual protection. Now, this was the only defense they had against the Scourge of Ammoriss. It wasnt long until the North Ammoriss Convoy system was put to the test. Manzikirts vile sorcery soon led it to Convoy M-141B. This scenario is intended to play out the encounter between the Convoy and the Chaos raider.

Notes: Merchantmen cannot Brace for Impact. Merchantmen can not engage in a Ram.

++The Objectives++
The Scourge of Ammoriss will gleefully cause havoc and destroy as many merchant ships as she can. If 4 or more of the merchantmen are reduced to 0 Damage points the chaos vessel will be satisfied with its work.

++Scenario++
The convoy had been making best speed for port. They had heard the news of the Scourge of Ammorisss amazing breakthrough at the Strait of Khaled, and quickly realized they were in the danger zone. Their first instinct had been to scatter, but the AN had convinced them that their only chance was to stay together in convoy until they reached port. The Navy aircraft providing top cover helped bolster their confidence. Once the flickering outline of the Scourge of Ammoriss was sighted on the horizon the merchant captains confidence quickly faded. The command from the convoy commander confirmed their worst fears, Enemy sighted. Every ship for themselves.

++The Board++
This mission uses a three foot by three foot board. Of course you can use a larger board if you wish, but some mission parameters may need to be modified for a successful mission. No additional terrain will be needed as there will be enough ships on the board to make things interesting. The Scourge of Ammoriss should be positioned with their stern touching the edge of the board on the east side. The merchantmen should form two rows of three with 3 inches separating each ship in the center of the board. The Ammoriss Naval PDF ships can me placed anywhere on the board as long as they are at least 18 inches from the Scourge of Ammoriss.

++The Battle++
Follow the normal rules found in the rulebook for determining initiative and starting a battle. Aquanautica Imperialis. Merchantmen move like ordinary ships, however they always activate after all warships have been activated. They can be activated in any order. The battle will end after 6 turns. At the end of the End Phase of the 6th turn the battle stops. Determine who met their victory conditions.

Mission 5: ++The Final Showdown++

Finally, the pursuit was over. The Scourge of Ammoriss had managed to fight her way through the Ammoriss Naval PDFs forces and link up with her fellow traitors. At the sight of the demon vessel a mighty cheer rose up, but it is soon silenced by fear as the demon vessel responds with a cry of triumph of its own. A cry like that is not meant to be heard by mortal ears. With reinforcements at his back, Manzikirt turns to finally strike down those impertinent mortals who dared to attack him. The Ammoriss Naval PDF is more than willing to oblige the challenge When it became clear to NavComm North that the Scourge of Ammoriss would escape they began assembling a fleet to engage the traitors and wipe them off the surface of Ammoriss once and for all. With fresh orders the ANS Ever Victorious flagship of the sectors naval forces steamed from her berth, ready to end the Scourge of Ammorisss reign of terror forever. The stage was set for the final showdown.

++The Objectives++
The North Ammoriss Naval PDF is trying to sink the Scourge of Ammoriss. The Congregation of the Unfaith are trying to avoid losing her.

++Scenario++
On a beautiful, sunny day spotting distance was only limited by the horizon. The two fleets easily spotted each other at range. Signal flags and short range vox communication dashed between the ships of each fleet. The moment of decision had come. Each man said a prayer to their respective gods. Eagerly, both fleets moved to intercept. There was no doubt in either forces mind that this would be a climactic battle. The type of battle that would help shape the war, leaving the sector safe for merchant shipping; or turning the area into a death trap. It was time for the final showdown.

++The Board++
This mission uses a three foot by three foot board. Of course you can use a larger board if you wish, but some mission parameters may need to be modified for a successful mission. Place one medium sized island just off center of the board and 2 to 3 smaller pieces of terrain 12 inches away from the island. This will force the fleets to maneuver and avoid a slugfest. The Chaos fleet will start on the west side of the board with their sterns placed anywhere against the table edge. The Ammoriss Navy will start on the east side of the board with their sterns placed anywhere against the table edge.

++The Battle++
Follow the normal rules found in the Aquanautica Imperialis rulebook for determining initiative and starting a battle. The battle will end after 6 turns. At the end of the End Phase of the 6th turn the battle stops. Determine who met their victory conditions.

Determining the winner of the campaign is very easy. If the Scourge of Ammoriss is sunk, then the Ammoriss Naval PDF are the winners of the campaign. If it is not sunk, then the chaos forces win.
are planning to take their war to the high seas as well. If the orks werent bad enough. Strange sea creatures have been attacking isolated platforms, merchants, and villages. Ad-mech researchers have determined them to be aquatic Tyranid creatures, perhaps the forerunners of a larger fleet. North Ammoriss Naval PDF The successful sinking of the Scourge of Ammoriss has helped secure North Ammoriss from succumbing to the threat of Chaos. By securing the supply lanes from greater Ammoriss from the Scourges threat, vital foodstuffs and raw materials have floated in. The war effort against the rebellion in the south can continue. However, the threat from the south is not over. Rebel naval units are still roaming the oceans of Ammoriss. The submarine fleet of the Great Enemy is of particular concern, and efforts to hunt down and sink them have been slow going at best. In addition, remaining surface raiders like the Scourge of Ammoriss also continue to plague the shipping lanes. However, none of these threats rises to the same level as that of the possessed battleship. In addition to the threat of the heretic, the threat of the xeno has also descended on Ammoriss. Ork roks, drop ships, and landaz have made planet fall in North Ammoriss itself. Thankfully, ork pirates have been a relatively small naval concern, but rumors are circulating that the orks Once more the Ammoriss Naval PDF is being called to the challenge. As her ships and fleets mobilize the people of Ammoriss are proud to have such stalwart defenders. NavComm North is confident that they have the men, ships, and faith to face these new challenges.

Congregation of the Unfaith All glory to Chaos! The Lord of Change, Manzikirt has managed to seal his link to the material world through the Scourge of Ammoriss and the souls of its ill-fated crew. With such a powerful vessel in the vanguard, the forces of chaos can launch enough surface raids to put a dent in the North Ammoriss war production.

In addition, the presence of the Scourge of Ammoriss and her fleet in being makes transporting troops to assist the beleaguered South Ammoriss PDF defend the capital of Pierefoy impossible. The likelihood of the transports being destroyed on route is too high. Without those vital reinforcements, it is only a matter of time before Pierefoy falls to the siege and all of South Ammoriss is over run by chaos forces. All ready, rebel forces are moving to secure more Naval PDF resources for their own.

However, rebel ships are not the only raiders prowling the sea lanes anymore. Frequently they are coming in contact with xeno raiders as well. Orks and Tyranid monstrosities are coming into conflict with chaos raiders and spoiling raids and sinking the limited number of chaos ships. What purpose brings these raiders from the stars is unclear, but it is certain that they bear no love for Chaos.

The following pages will contain all the ship templates you will need to play the scenarios contained in this booklet, including aircraft tokens. The only exception is Mission 5: The Final Showdown. Since that scenario allows you to select your own fleet, their would be too many options for this tome. Instead use the Aquanautica Imperialis Fleet Supplement book for additional templates you may need. Next is a page of Merchant ships for use in Mission 4B. There are more Merchantmen than is needed to play the mission.

This packet also includes a page of tokens to represent Torpedoes, Wake, and Mines. This Campaign Pack does not make use of Mines. However, as you expand your games of Aquanautica Imperialis, these tokens will come in handy.
The tokens are follwed by a page for Scenery that can be used to sprinkle through your battles. The first page of scenery is Regs Drift and is ideal for Mission 2B. However, it can be used during any battle. The second page is general scenery. Finally, a Quick Reference Guide has also been included in this Campaign Pack. This guide will be a handy resource as you play the scenarios in this packet. All the majors rules you will need to play can be found on the Quick Reference Guide.
