Hi to anyone who is interested. I have been working on the rules for Advanced Space Crusade - please have a look via the following links:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0l4taky0bwdrdb3/ASC2%20changes%20.doc?dl=0
The first is the updated book and the second what changes I've made.
There were a few things that I wanted to fix but mainly the following:
I felt that the game was unfairly biased in favor of the Marines
Several of the Tyranid troop types were not really viable
The campaign game tended to fissile out rather than build up to a climax at the end.
The rules were a bit overwhelmed by background, which i didn't want to loose just put elsewhere
I think the changes should make it a lot more exciting a game. Please let me know what you think and if any of you have done anything similar.
P.S. the rulebook itself invites you to play with the rules so I hope no-one will mind that I have!!
- I see that I've not updated a few of the contents page references. These should be ...28, 31, 34, 36, 37, 40, 46, 47, 50, 51, 57, 60. I'm enjoying playing with these rules. I will update at some point; I was thinking of adding a 'Norn Queen' encounter to the space next to the ambush rules... perhaps some kind of Alien(s) queen/egg room thing.
Certainly makes it more challenging for the marines - a narrow Imperial points-victory last night, with all Marines wiped out just after destroying the final objective needed. My Commander was heroically taken down in the act of killing the respiratory-vent, by the subsequent explosion of noxious fluids (D12 roll of 12 and no fate points left!). Scout and bolter marine remaining were then chased down by a mob of Gretchins. Loved it!
