Y'all should pick this up, on sale via Steam for $5. I've been playin' it since '06 and I still love it. Snow and I still play it online, but it would be really cool w/ more (SimHQ) players. If you've played CoH, it's basically the same game, just 40K...

Well as its Christmas, and I loved DOW. Downloading now. I will have to get to grips with the tech tree though.

Would be nice to have a game

I skipped DOW, but got DOWII and all of its expansions. Why was there never a DOWIII? I thought it would have been a natural progression of the W40K cash cow for Relic. confused

DoWII was good, not great. I much prefer Dark Crusade, even compared w/ the last XP Soul Storm.

I got DoWII because it played so much like CoH. Was DoWI more true to the 40K rules?

From what I understand, but I've never played the TT, so I'm not an expert...

Negative. Normal RTS style gameplay compared to actual WH40K rules. Which I didn't necessarily find a bad thing. The tabletop rules are there to allow for the abstraction of the game due to record keeping issues and playability. The PC takes care of all of that. It was a good solid fun RTS.

That's a good deal. I got DOW2 Gold on amazon a week or so ago, but it was $21 and only came with the base game and Chaos Rising. That's a much better deal.
Fun game!

I think Dark Crusade is the one being discussed, but I just picked them all up at this cheap price, BTW on top of the 75% off you can use the code MAR20OFF to get additional 20% off (UKMAR20OFF if using the UK store).
