An 'expansion' pack that 'expands' the series in ways expansion packs rarely do. Definitely the pinnacle of the series.

Before I heard of this expansion pack, whenever I was playing a DOW skirmish game, I found myself wondering,'Wouldnt it be sweet if all these awesome battles MEANT something!'
I always wanted a strategic(big picture) layer in DOW and now I got it! I was actually more excited about this than either the Tau or the Necrons! I am not going to waste text space and talk about all the new features that everyone has talked about many times before. I will say that if you are a fan of the series, then this X-pack is an absolute MUST-BUY! Ive beaten the campaign as both the Tau and the Necrons. Both races are awesome and very distinct. The Necrons in particular are the most inertesting to play in my opinion. Like many other players, I think that they are a little overpowered, but that sort of fits in with all the background fluff (I am sure they will be nerfed with a patch).
