Warhammer 40k Down of War

Just picked it up, can't wait to get home and fire that thing up. Demo was awesome, especially with modded Orcs. I've been milking Generals/Zero Hour for over two years now, good to see that there is finally an RTS that can put those two to rest. For those not in the know, I highly recommend the demo, intro scene alone is worth the download.

FYI default demo setup for skirmish is this time based capture and hold mode. I found the game much more interesting when all winning conditions are turned off except for annihilate. In other words, kill all units, and all structures. Plays a lot like Total Annihilation in terms of resource management and more like starcraft/warcraft in terms of combat.
