One of the best multiplayer experiences out there.
As a single player experience, it's fun and well paced, but it truly comes to life in multi-player. Unlike most strategy games that promote turtling yourself in a corner with your resources and seeing who cracks first after some rock against the wall throwdowns, this game promotes action, right from the word go you have to be in the field of battle, you have to fight, strive and conquer to ultimately win, no stagnation, no sitting on laurels, if you are not in the thick of it, you will lose. The game, like it's twin company of heroes, promotes fast paced strategy action, and it is that exactly, strategy !. A lot of games follow the formula of "who builds the biggest unit first will win the game". balderdash i say !!! warhammer is balanced, there is no "ultimate" unit. almost every unit and object in the game has a counter, a way to beat it, a weakness if you will, the trick is to balance your army, limited in size by the pop cap, into a force to be reckoned with that can respond on the fly to any threat. This is multi-player strategy at it's best. The industry should take note
