I have a model of this tank, but it's painted with Ork graffiti.

The first review of Dawn of War I read described the game as the "beer and pretzels" version of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000. True tabletop gamers would not give in, it suggested, to the glitzy blood and diceless battles of this flashy new computer game. For me, however, the sense is rather nostalgia for the old game. A friend from the gaming days suggested that on his next visit to Chicago I should break out the old models for a rumble. Perhaps I finally understand those Deer Hunting games now—they don't function as fun games, but as memory machines, trying to capture the essence of something else that's fun. That's what Dawn of War, a reasonably good but not great RTS game, does for me. It captures the look and feel of those tabletop models squirreled away in my closet.
