If they can just give me a game in the vein of the original Dawn of War, I would be content. I liked DoW2, but ultimately I prefer more traditional base-building RTS games. DoW2 was a bit too focused on constant action for me.
Argh, now I'll have to go dig up my DoW disks again tonight and play it again.
In that case what do you think of the recent Space Hulk? Now that is true Warhammer mechanics.
You might also like the fact that DoW 3 might be alive again
I know nobody asked me what I think, but the recent Space Hulk was a really good translation from boardgame to videogame.
Even though it's ultimately a multiplayer game, the SP campaign wasn't half bad either. There were lots of scenarios where what I had to do seemed pretty straightforward and easy, just for the enemy to surprise me and end up devouring my squad instead.
Even so, it's ultimately a multiplayer game and that's where it shines. I don't know if I would really recommend it to a casual player, seeing as most people would likely be turned off by the turn-based, boardgame nature of it, but for anyone who has played the boardgame and finds it difficult to get a buddy to play with you this should be a godsend. I threw out my boardgame years ago because I never had anyone who could take an evening to play with me, so it's nice that I can now play it with my friends in a much shorter time over the internet.
Edit: Also, in case you didn't see, they released version 1.2 earlier today which includes a brand new Messengers of Purgatory campaign. It's only 3 missions long, but you can't argue with free.

I completely and utterly understand with CliveWoofer here. I absolutely love turn based strategy. I'll admit that Civ5 is an amazing game in this idea, but I can't help but think and remember Civ 4 & the original pioneer that started this. I cannot count the days, never mind hours I spent on those games.
@AlphaJohn: Can't really comment there, never owned or played Space Hulk as I thought they drifted away from the style that is Warhammer40k. If I'm not mistaken, this was the 3rd person type one?
But I'll your recomendations into consideration and take a look some time. Thanks.![]()
You thinking Space Marine? Space Hulk is as close to 40K universe as you can get.
Does anyone think Heroes of Might and Magic (http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/79...indows%29.html) was a decent strategy game, or am I as out of line in this thread as I was with my previous post mentioning Master of Orion and other TBS's :/
Special mention goes to the original series of Rainbow Six games, despite being a FPS I found that to be heavily strategy oriented, especially if you discarded the "default" tactics and created your own path to the objectives...
