I haven't picked it up yet :(

 

I am totally addicted to the previous games, as well as Company of Heroes (And I find myself running around the house quoting them).

 

 

I must have played every map in CoH 5 times as the Americans, Brits and both German forces

Sigh, I really need to find some time to play video games again. I never got on the Dawn of War coaster when it first came out, but I picked it and Winter Assault up at Wally-world a month or so ago on clearance for $13. I still haven't installed it yet. I take it you guys would all recommend it?

 

But it'll have to compete with Sid Meier's Pirates!, which I finally picked up yesterday, and Mass Effect when it comes out for the PC in 10 days.

The campaign mode in DoW: Soulstorm is very good and beats the campaigns of the priors.

 

The SoB are really fun to play because of the cool powers on their tech tree (especially the holy ray guns when missionary attached to squads).

 

It rekindled my interest in the DoW franchise and tabletop 40K too.

 

I played a skirmish to show someone tonight and they are going to buy it tomorrow.

I like this expansion as well. Was alot of fun playing the SoB with all the new powers and units but I have to say that I think the marines overall are still the best to play for me at least.

 

But a group of Imperial Guard Armor ( Doomblade and 3-4 Leman Russ ) can pretty much roll over anything with a bit of infantry support as a meat shield :poke:

There are doomblades in the new expansion? I haven't picked it up yet, hopefully at the end of summer.

 

I do love the marines :)

 

I'm a big fan of the slow grind battle for the guard. Line up a bunch of infantry supported by a few tanks - park the artillery in the rear and send the vindicares in as scouts. Simply let them do away with the Fog of War, call in artillery strikes and bomb the baddies back to the stone age. Advance the picket lines - rinse and repeat.

 

 

There is definately something to be said about charging in a bunch of tactical squads, however. :D
