1. So...

None of you's plays Dawn of War....

The shame... tsk tsk....

2. Yeah.

I played it. Never could finish the Winter Assault campaigns.
And then I tried a few skirmishes, and couldn't win those, even.

3. In addendum...

I just bought (yes, I actually buy games if they're good) Company of Heroes, also made by Relic.

I just have to say this: (And I never say this on message boards)

OMFG! OMFG! OMFG!

This game is incredible. Totally incredible.

4. Yeah, I have been hanging out over at

the Relic forums and everyone says CoH is awesome.

If you decide to finish WA, you should check out the Relic forums; they have good strategy guides to completing them.

The WA missions are designed very porrly. I was stuck on them for a long time, at least mission 4 of both sides. I didn't realise I had to concentrate on on one team or the other, as each one has it's own ending in it's own mission 5.

Also, there is a lot of stuff about the game that I had no idea about until I read the forums there. All sorts of important things.

Dark Crusade is the 3rd and final expansion and it is due out next month.

There is talk of Dawn of War2, which is going to use the Essence egnine, the same engine as CoH.

5. I think I'll do that . Thanks!

And I'm not surprised about the rumors of Dawn of War 2 using the Essence engine.

I will say this about CoH: it's hard, like Relic's other games (Homeworld 2 particularly ticked me off in terms of difficulty)
but it's not seemingly impossible. It's definitely built for RTS players like me, who are too methodical for their
own good.
