I'd been a 40k tabletop player back in the day, and when I started tinkering with computers I thought "wouldn't it be great if GW did a computer game that was just like table top"? There were a few attempts (Chaos Gate anyone? ), but Dawn of War really solidified it as a VERY playable game. I was never a big fan of RTS games before, but being such a huge fan of the franchise sold me on this one! And now, with the Winter Assault expansion - a good thing just got better!
The ONLY thing that has me scratching my head is this: with the occurance of patch 1.3 (and then 1.4), DoW had a rather elegant "add-on" system integrated into it where you could turn on (or off) added mods for the game. Why did they NOT use this system for the expansion, and just allow you to play thru the DoW interface? Winter Assault has its own executable and interface - did it really need it?
