Anyone still play this?

If you haven't tried it, I'd very much recommend finding someone who has got it, and playing it, or trying to find a copy second hand. You do need quite a bit of extra 40K stuff for a good game, but a copy of Space Hulk and Space Crusade provide enough for a good game.

Unfortunately not, Advanced Space Crusade represents a small gap in my collection (I am of course on the look out for a copy of Advanced Space Crusade!).


I have 2 copies of Space Crusade both with Mission Dreadnought and I own 1st edition Space Hulk with Deathwing, Genestealer and tones of WD extras for both games and I recently bought 2 copies of 2nd edition Space Hulk mainly for the tiles and a sprue of 3rd edition Genestealers so that I could have a Brood Lord/Patriarch and some nice objective counters. All this is further expanded by a printed and nicely laminated copy of all the card components from Eldar Attack and of course my ever growing range of home brew extras for Space Crusade which enable me to use my wider range of 40k and other Sci-Fi figures.


My friend Bert (Apocalypsedreamer in these parts) owns Tyranid Attack which contains the same Miniatures and Board Pieces as Advanced Space Crusade, but not the same rules. We discovered some time last year that the Advanced Space Crusade/Tyranid Attack board sections fit together with the Space Hulk tiles allowing us to build layouts with Technological and Organic areas to represent Tyranid nests within a Hulk (although you do end up with half-squares at the entrances to the ASC/TA sections, but these can be 'covered' with Space Crusade Doors)  


You might already know this but for those who don't; White Dwarf 134 (candidate for best WD ever IMHO) as well as containing rules allowing you to use Terminators, Scouts, Ork Looterz, Death Spitters, Bone Swords and Hybrids in Space Crusade also contained a 7th Board Section for Advanced Space Crusade (it will of course work with Tyranid Attack too) and rules for using Ork Warbands instead of Space Marines in Advanced Space Crusade
