I want it. I might pick it up today or sometime soon. Hopefully you guys can show me the ropes though because I know RTS's online have a 10x steeper learning curve than most other game types. I'll let you know when or if I get it.  :-D

Yes, both Deimos and I have DoW:WA v1.5

6 of our friends also have it, and we play all the time.



To play, you need both Dawn of War and the expansion, Winter Assault.  After opening the game, look for the version number, and then google the update patch for v1.5.  (The plus to 1.5 is that it removes the CD key, and need for the CD to be inserted to play.  So you and 3 other friends can play off one set of disks.  No idea if this will be removed with the new expansion coming out in October/November)


To play ONLINE, you'll need to be very aware of your router settings.  lol   From what I've gathered (I dont know routers well), you need to either be set as DMZ, or have NO DMZ set.  DoW can operate off of a number of different ports, but 6112 is the default, I believe.   Deimos has a port tester link for the game, so I'll post that later.
