Eye eye shipmates, Hi Mortis,
I been looking at the Tyranid Attack Rule book you provided. It really is short, when compaired to Advance Space Crusade and even Space Crusade. Rule book for TA is 25 pages long ASC 60 pages.
Its super cut down, for example it mensions that the game can be connceted to or linked with other game (OLD GW games) but dose not give any rules , connections, or convertion charts. I mean even ASC made an effort with the dreadnought and androde (UMMm... Nerons... mmm) at the back. ASC even game stats for Zoats :D. TA gave the zoat fluff but no Rules or stats / Data Cards for Zoats.
Also another thing The hole point of TA seams to be a random maze... Eeek.. (I don't like mazes, even when I have coloured thread and a tourch.. A back exparince with a big Bull headed man once on a vogae I had in my younger days.)
Back on point. Not to worry I have dulled the edge. I know ASC has that as well but ASC feels a lot more complete well it dose have move rules and batte options. AHQ gave you random mazes yes, but that game allowed the player to map the maze as they expored. Also AHQ had the HeroQuest rules and moster profiles. Granted there was a lot that was left out of AHQ i.e. a formular or chart/ table explaining how to convert the HQ stuff to AHQ but at least there was a good effort to make a game behind Advance Hero Quest. WHQ expanded and ajusted the AHQ system and blended HQ cards back in to the game.
TA on the other hand did not have that kind of depth. What it does have though is an alternative way to play Lost Patroll see my post
http://the-lost-and-the-damned.664610.n2.nabble.com/Patrol-lost-lost-td6633633.htmlFor the Lost Patroll rules.
Anyway checking the ASC SC , WH40K 1st and 2nd ed's rules and Even Lost Patroll on a whim of fancy.
I found that TA's Exploration Rule and board placement is the same same as LP even down to looseing the playing peaces , Miss Scarlot and Curnall Musterd.. Oh sorry wrong playing peaces . SC Scouts.
What TA does do is give me a link to WH40k 2nd ed.
