Is it still worth playing?

Space Marines, Orks, Eldar and Tyranids were the armies at launch in this February 2009 real time tactics and tactical role playing game for Windows, set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The Chaos Space Marines and the Imperial Guard were added later by the expansions Chaos Rising and Retribution. Building bases is gone. Cover matters more and gives stronger defensive bonuses, so units in cover have to be dealt with: grenades and other explosives can destroy it, while flamers ignore it. A battle where cover decides things still calls for a plan today.
