    Remove the II and replace it with Soulstorm.

    DoWII is really good in my opinion.

    DoWII was okay not great, Chaos Rising was a marked step up though.

    Soulstorm suffered for 3 reasons;

    The fliers were shockingly poorly implemented
    The "souls" mechanic was crow barred in, and didn't make much sense
    Whe you defended a territory you had to rebuild EVERYTHING every time. In Dark Crusade, if defending, your base was still there.

    I loved Dark Crusade. I loved DoW2, for all its faults and problems (mostly with my laptop). Never played Chaos rising. Space Marine was great. Killteam, the XBL Arcade game was good fun

    There was a game on the DS and PSP....combat squad? Squad command? That was terrible

    But with Dark Crusade, if you then built a base/turrets where the enemy spawned you could wipe them out without really having to do anything. So a balance would need to be struck

    True. But to me it just got boring rebuilding the same base, over and over again every "turn" for ages.

    A better balenced would have been not have to rebuild in the starting area, but destroying all other buildings

    I've never played a bad Warhammer 40000 game to be honest, or indeed a bad Warhammer Fantasy game, and I've played a wide range; I really like all of the Dawn of War games (I actually prefer two oddly), Space Marine was good, and that Warhammer: Mark of Chaos game was enjoyable, if uninspiring compared to Medieval 2.

    I'd be more excited if I had ever heard of Zattikka and whether or not they have a track record of delivering quality games.
    Free to play is pretty much a nail in the coffin for me, that whole model holds no interest to me and I consider it more or less a legal scam. GW is stupid to connect themselves to somehing like this.

    Couldn't someone just Mod mech warrior? Because that's what it will be, on a much larger scale.

    You would be surprised at how popular Free to Play is, it isn't a silly decision by GW whatsoever. Just look at how Planetside 2, LOTRO and many other F2P games are doing. For what looks like a mobile game, it's not a bad choice at all.

    Mech Commander would be better.
