    Looks the business. I read somewhere a long time ago that they were doing away with base building altogether and focusing on table-top mechanics i.e you pick out an army up to certain allowance and then do battle with it. Great to see that it's the same basic game. I used to be hopelessly addicted to Winter Assault online, between various accounts had about 2,000 games with 70% win rate. God that sounds sad beyond belief. Haven't played it in a long time though. Didn't like Dark Crusade and never played Soulstorm.

    Me and my friends used to play it LAN non-stop as well, though I've since sold my secondary gaming machines/gaming laptop so there'll be no-one else to really play DOW2 with locally as no-one has a machine that'd run it.

    Multiplayer "battle report" style video http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56760 (high res version on gametrailers - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/44402.html?r=1 )

    THQ have the same one up but with some bits cut out! http://www.thq-games.com/uk/thqtv/index/2548

    From the video we can see the Orks get a War Boss, Mek Boy and Kammando as leaders. It looks like the Techmarine gets access to more advanced units... like venerable dreadnaughts :D
