Anybody have this?
I picked it up last week for $14.99 and must say i'm having a bit of fun with it. I have played a few skirmishes and some of the campaign.
It has online play as well. Anyone into RTS's?

I got this just before I got into the WoW beta, so I only played maybe 2 weeks. Great game, though.

I'd like to try it online. The skirmish mode is a blast, so I would enjoy any sort of online fun.
I have it and would love to give it a try. Would give me an excuse to actually open the box and install it :)

I've got this game too. its alot of fun, but like most RTS games has little single player replayability.

It seems that we are having more than one game in the running to unite the happy family... um, cartel, I mean. I don't know anything about this game, but I'd consider it just as readily as Dungeon Siege. However, I will not pick up more than ONE game in additipon to WoW.
I beta tested this for a few months and LOVED it and I'm not usually a big fan of RTS games.
$14.99 is hard to resist though. I'll have to grab it. Would love to play some games.

There's an expansion coming out called Winter Assault. I don't know if it will be a true expansion and require the original game or if it'll be a stand-alone. I'd like to pick that up and try coop/multi then, but if it comes out soon I'd be torn between what games to buy.

Warhammer was a lot of fun and the plot was enjoyable- but for an RTS-- it was really on the short side, plus the campaign only let you played the space marine sin single player- we'll just have to see what the expansion brings
plus it was cheaper than watching the folks who play the live action version of the warhammer statuettes. Those folks are meticulous, they sit around and paint their models all day-- but boy those things are expensive-- and they really add up quick when you have to buy enough to simulate a battlefield
When it comes to non PC gaming-- I'll just stick to my d20 and amy imagination

I have it and would love to play with others. I also plan on picking up winter assault since it sounds like they put a bunch of new things in it.
I'm not having much success with recent game purchases. I tried to install my copy of DoW today, and don't appear to have a registration code on my CD jewel case like it says I should. I checked the manual and other locations in case it was a situation of bad documentation, but so far, no luck :(
I really have to learn to install games as soon as I buy them, since I bought this and IL-2 at around the same time, and the IL-2 installation bombs out with some CD read error. I bought both of these games more than 30 days ago, so returning them and getting new ones doesn't seem like an option, even assuming I could find the receipts :(

Tai, I thought the same thing, but it is hidden behind disk number three inside the case. Take a look there and you should find it.

SWEEET! Thanks! I'll check it out ASAP. :)
I have installed it finally!! :) Thanks for the tip Harka, that's exactly where it was hiding :)
On to the next question - is there a way to get it to run in widescreen? I need 1680x1050 and that's not displaying as an option =/
