I got the game yesterday. I find it a fun game, although the ai remains a bit easy to play against (all it is good at is rushing you, afterwards it can't mount an efficient offense/defense. I also find it doesn't make much use of the terrain (which is critical for success, a group of space marines in heavy cover can be a real pain to anything trying to mount an offense)). I find the idea of squads, morale and cover refreshing. Melee combat is a bit poorly worked out, as I often find my melee heroes (superunit) to be watching the back ranks while not able to dish out it's (spectacular) damage for a few seconds (which, again, can be critical). there's a LOT of graphical fun (violence) to see. I pity some of those grunts... ;)
