SCOGGEX, is it much different from the first one? Or much like an expansion pack?

Its an expansion pack...
However you dont require the original to play it. You can play all 7 races in the singler player mode, but only the 2 new races in multiplayer (unless you have the original DoW and Winter Assault installed, then you can play all 7) Singleplayer is more of a C&C style open map, choose where you attack, rather than the DoW and Winter Assault style linear singleplayer. |

heres what THQ reckons CeMax:
As a hybrid expansion, the game offers a complete standalone experience, allowing gamers to play as all seven races, including the all-new, mysterious Tau and the chilling Necron. Fans who own the entire Dawn of War series can look forward to new units across each of the five original races, expansive bonus content and the ability to play as any of the seven races in multiplayer. [THQ] its priced as an expansion at 55 bucks however it sucks if you dont own the originals. Multiplayer is pretty awesome. 7 races!!! so uh u may as well grab the GOTY edition of DOW with Winter Assault. Its a budget price title now anyway. read somewhere that THQ have removed cd checks n stuff as well like they did in COH so you can indulge in some less-than-legit LAN action anyways IF AND U KNOW WHAT I MEAN. |

I'm certainly having a blast with it :) |

ok the campaign mode is pretty good. sort of like Rome: Total War style turn based. AI is f***en crazy. MASSIVE BATTLES. Also the commander wargear and honor squads are an awesome addition. Necrons are waaay cool. thats all.

no man should be denied his god-given right to play DOW multiplayer! |

You have to input the same keys that are in your registry, i think caps might be important too.
Check your registry and make sure the keys you are trying to enter are identical. |

It's still the same in Dark Crusade. Sometimes you can join someones game. Then someone else joins it and you can't anymore.
It's like I got transported back in time and started playing games over FTP. |

Just got the Anthology this morning (didn't have Winter Assault either) and am loving it. Tau rock very hard. I love the campaign idea with all 7 armies. I can see MANY hours lost to playing DoW!!!
