Finally tonight, PC.IGN has whipped up a review on Relic Entertainment's Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War expansion pack, Winter Assault. With a final score of 8.5/10, this sounds like a pretty good effort. uNF:

The Imperial Guard is made up of the average Joe. These aren't stimmed up super soldiers that have been bred and trained for the savagery of combat, but guys with families and lives they'd actually like to keep. For that reason, the basic Guardsmen tend toward the defensive because of their relative one on one weakness with any of the comparable basic units of the other factions. Along with good defensive structures, which include bunkers where they can hide and shoot (not to mention move freely in between them by traveling through tunnels), are defensive vehicles like the Hellhound flamethrower tank (brilliant for defense against infantry assaults) and the Basilisk artillery. They even have a fast walker called the Sentinel that can run out and un-capture control points in enemy hands so that most of the forces can stay in the shelter of the base.
