    The skirmishes are the best. I personally hated campaign mode.

    its a solid game. very fun to play 4v4 online. It reminds me of command and conquer generals.

    i wasn't too hot on it either, i thought the ground battles felt very generic and tedious and the space battles kinda felt like a click fest. Stick with World in Conflict or Company of Heroes for RTS. C&C3 is good, but it's doing the same thing C&C did 12 years ago.

    ahhh.... Sound advice, you can get Dawn of War platinum, which is the original game + the 2 expansions for $40 at Best Buy, and they are releasing a third expansion soon.

    Ground battles are bland and boring, poor unit variety, very poor textures, awesome space battles with tons of different ships, turn-based portion is quite cool (not Total War quality though). It's an good game if you are a STAR WARS die hard fan otherwise it's mediocre at best.
