Thanks Qickle.

For anyone that might be struggling to learn the rules -- there's now an excellent video tutorial by Always Board, Never Boring:

There's also a great video showcasing the amazing, evocative artwork found in the rulebook:

No problem! I'm glad I could help you get situated a bit :)

Thank you so much for the help,I am a newbee at TTS only had a few weeks.

You can delete the Tyranid's "Hidden Zone" by selecting the Hidden Zone Tool (press F3 or click the third icon down on the left side - it looks like this: https://kb.tabletopsimulator.com/game-tools/zone-tools/#hidden-zone) .

Once you have the Hidden Zone Tool selected, right click on the Tyranid's Hidden Zone and then click "Delete" in the menu.

Hi again I figured out the map but how do you get rid of the hidden area on the tyranid side?Thanks

Hi it seems when I take the maps from the bag they are very small I am not seeing them scaled to size unless I do the scaling myself,am I doing something wrong?

Those hive's doors though, LOL! (yeah, I'm immature like that)

MOD UPDATE: I added a button to toggle Grid Snapping on/off when placing board tiles. This is a huge quality of life improvement for folks that prefer the board tiles to fit together seamlessly.

The button is located below the "Objectives" bag on the Tyranid player's side of the table. (Close to the bag containing the board tiles.)

Everything should be scaled properly, including the maps and miniatures. If the boards seem too big, it's because the squares are large enough to fit models with a larger base (like Terminators and Tyranid Warriors).

Thanks for getting back with me,I am having a blast with this mod one more question when you pull out the maps from the bag do you use scale to enlarge them?

Hi twentyquestion! I'm glad you like the mod. The fog effect is built into the mod, but you have to click a button to place it (since not everyone wants to use it). The button is on the Tyranid side of the table. If you are sitting in the Tyranid player's seat (Brown color), it will be on the far left side. There's a yellow bag with two buttons below it: "Place Fog" and "Recall Fog" that control the fog. Cheers!

That’s fog not GOG sorry about that.

Hi great mod brings me back to my youth,but I have a question in your credits you mention GOG effects are these alteady built in your mod or are they a seperate mod? Thanks.

90's baby! I miss those days.

@MrSar9e thanks for reporting the issue.

The problem should be fixed now. The files were hosted on Google Drive, and lately Google has been throttling downloads. I just transferred the files to the Steam Cloud to fix it. There should be no issues anymore.

a lot of things failing to load in for me? (map tiles etc) any ideas why?

Thanks farvat! I find this game phenomenal too :)

I'm not currently working on any updates for this mod. Someday I plan to return and pour more love into this mod. I love this game so much and always find myself returning to it! :)

I would love to see your event cards and alternate base tiles! I've been thinking about creating event cards too.

Have you thought about starting a thread on BoardGameGeek? If you're open to feedback, you may get some great feedback from others.

You did a great job. And there is a notable array of additional content as well. A long time ago I also started a conversion for TTS, but your table is definitely more scripted and essential, good. I picked up the game again and I must say that I find it phenomenal, and I understand why in my youth it fascinated me so much. Are you proceeding with the upgrades that were announced in the mod? I have found updated stats for the Tyranids that include modern units and am testing them. I also recently developed some alternative base set tiles. which bring the original set redone to about twenty boards. I am also developing a deck of event cards to be drawn during tactical battle, similar to Tyranid Attack.

np man!!!

Great idea, thanks Mister Y!

if you plan to make new forces, I'd go for Orkz, they can fit as players (Tyranids kidnap Orkz, the fools) or enemies (Orkz bum rushing an Imperial underground base)

I'm not able to re-produce the issue. Have you tried loading the mod with mod caching turned off, and tried loading it a couple times in a row? I've noticed that sometimes Google Drive files fail to load the first time, but load fine when trying again immediately after. With mod caching turned off, only 3 files failed to load for me. Then I tried again and they all loaded.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll investigate it tonight.

Cannot d/l anything all mod files are coming back 403 forbidden. Google drive changed link formats so you may have to reupload or something.

Great question! Here's what I would do:
1. Use the "Underground Base" tiles.
2. Find some appropriate 40K models on the workshop.
3. Writes stats for the new models (i.e. write a new "Force List").
4. Play! You'll still be using Tyranid artwork for some pieces, like the Hive Network and the Blips.

I hope these instructions are clear.

Someday I'd like to add more custom content to this mod, including more enemy forces and a template for writing new Force Lists.

what to do if i want the enemy forces to be something other than tyranid?

I'm glad you found this! I hope you have a great time :)

Wow this looks amazing. Thank you for putting in the work to create this. Just played space crusade with my family and seen this beaut! Going to pour few hours into this!! :)

When do we play?

Hi everyone, the artist who did the modernized artwork has now remastered Board Tile 7 [boardgamegeek.com] from White Dwarf 134. I just added it to the mod, so please enjoy!

@Kazaar: que lindo es! *looks at amber minis*

Sadly this dosen't come with a kid in a heavy accent saying "dreadnought"

I knew space crusade existed but not advanced space crusade.

I had no idea it existed.

Aye, I meant I'd need to change links which point to this mod page, since the new mod page would be hosted at a different URL. I'd prefer to not reupload for that reason.

Out of curiosity, did you know Advanced Space Crusade existed before now? I'm really curious to know how many people are discovering this game for the first time.

You wouldn't have to reupload anything within the save file, all the URLs will be the same. It would just be a new entry on the workshop.

This isn't about pretentiousness. This is about doing people a favor. They want to know that a new game is available and they pay attention to the recently added items. This is a very elaborate passion project and the more people that see it, the better.

Thanks both of you! I added the gif to to the bottom of the page, is that a good place for it? I'm afraid if I put it closer to the top it might seem pretentious or simply be distracting.

I like your idea to re-upload, but alas, I don't want to go back and change the links I've posted far and wide across the internet! I'll take that as a lesson learned not to keep it hidden at first! Thanks for the help Tyrant.

Also, consider using this gif: https://i.imgur.com/p7Fv1Z6.gif

You've made like John Hammond and brought a fossil back to life in the flesh, new and improved. Clearly, you've spared no expense! Here's a fave.

You may want to consider resubmitting this, because it's almost at the second page of the recent entries due to how you had it hidden for the first 24 hours.

Amazing work.
