so i tried the DoWII beta, started up a skirmish against an easy comp just to get a feel for it. i'm gonna miss the base bulding :-\
the tyranids are pretty rad i must say, but will require more strategy than others since they're pretty weak -- armor wise. you better watch your face when they get into melee though
