Watch “Advanced Space Crusade (Games Workshop) - A Deep Dive How to Play Overview of a Rogue Trader Classic,” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Always Board Never Boring on YouTube:

Always Board Never Boring takes a close look at the rules for Advanced Space Crusade, a fun and detailed sci-fi miniatures game set in the Rogue Trader era of Warhammer 40,000. Please note, out of necessity some elements of the rules have been truncated or omitted. This video is intended to give an overview of the main game mechanisms and is not a replacement for using the rules documentation included with the game. This is a really long video, but hopefully it's not really boring.

About Advanced Space Crusade, from BoardGameGeek:

This game basically recreates small-unit actions during the war between the Imperium and the Tyranids' Hive Fleet Kraken. One player moves squads of Space Marine Scouts inside the guts of a Tyranid Hiveship, and the other defends the bioship by placing "blips" which can be Tyranid warriors and other monstrosities. The game is designed to be played as a campaign, although suggestions for playing one-off games are included. The game comes with three Space Marine Scout squads and six Tyranid Warriors. It has rules for including several miniatures from the old WH40K Space Marine and Tyranid range. (Rules were also published in White Dwarf for using an Imperial Guard or Ork force instead of Space Marines). The game mechanics are very simple: Space Marines move and fire and then the Tyranids move and fire. The map is built gradually by the Tyranid player from a complete layout he keeps secret as the Space Marines explore the ship. The space marines explore the bioship in search of its vital organs, hoping to survive the waves of aliens as they head deeper inside.
