<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>It's got its ups and its downs. It's a nice twist to the RTS genre where your resources are gotten through controlling strategic points on the map. Each race is a little different, although Space Marines and Chaos marines are almost identical in the first tier. The one thing I don't like is how vehicles can turn the tide of a game so easily. This was supposed to be an infantry based game with vehicles supporting them...yet the first person to get a dreadnought/defiler/wraithlord/killa klan (which can rape entire squadrons with little more than a scratch) can pretty much take control of the map and destroy the enemy base. So while the beginning of the game is focused on an infantry army and getting control points, it's a major advantage to have vehicles before the other team.

Otherwise it's a cool game, I've only gotten to play MP though on like 5 maps. Startegy does count in this game, as in a team based game putting your armies together and running into an enemy doesn't really work. Overall I think it's a fun game that could be better if the matching service (run by Gamespy...) was better. I also don't know hwo close it is to the table-top game, but I haven't heard too many complaints.</div>
