Exercises in frustration?
The original Mark of Chaos was great. Good all round fun that took a little thought, and lo, you could pull things off.
This seems to be an exercise in how many times you can retry a mission until you give up, come back and try again..
One mission in particular is sensitive to timing. And when your units fail to charge, and decide to regroup and tiptoe instead of running, that's 20 mins down the drain. Again and again.
Good enough story to it, but it seems let down by less thought to balance than the original, and way too much frustration.

terrible
Slow load times and just terrible,terrible terrible, I have a reasonable PC but this ran abysmally.I have all the Warhammers and love the series but this and Mark of Chaos are not worth the time or money.Give it a miss.

Just to clear up
Just to clear this up, there is a skirmish mode on both Battle March and Mark of Chaos and you dont need and internet conection to play against the A.I.

IN Battle March its on the main menu but in Mark of chaos you have to go into multiplayer the Lan game, select a seige or normal map then add A.I. Hope this helps i had Mark of chaos for 6 months before i found multiplayer!

As for the Game review the other reviewer is right, the only thing holding this game back is the length of the loading screens. Other then that the game play and story is excellent and the graphics and sounds are great too, i hope they make another expansion and add sum more races as at the momment there are: Empire,Chaos, High Elfs, Dark elfs, Skaven,Dwarfs & Orcs. each army has 3 varations representing the diffent areas or beliefs and you can also create your own force down to the shoes they wear! You battle against undead in the story but cant pick them.

Great game buy it!

A great march across the Warhammer World
A really enjoyable single player campaign expansion with great storytelling and graphics in the campaign mode. I really enjoy games that take the time and effort to tell a good story as you progress through the games and whilst also providing you with an opportunity to earn the right to buy and use new more interesting and stronger units and items.

One thing that I felt that the later Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War expansions had missing was that they had no good storylines and plots unfolding, which to me missed an enjoyable element of a game and I also didn't like the fact that you could be up and running using all units that would be accessible to you throughout the game from the first battle onwards.

The dark elves and the orks and goblin armies that become accessible in the expansion are really fun to play and they also play differently to the previous armies played. I have yet to go online to try and play against other players yet and the prospect does sound quite appealing, but I do tend to get beaten far too quickly when I do that.

The one reason why I have given this game 4 stars instead of 5 is that I don't think there is adequate provision for single player continued usage. The skirmish maps can only be played against other players online and so there is still no option to play a skirmish mode against an AI opponent which I thing is a really shame and would have really added further playability options for gamers.

it's really quite good
Forget the negative reviews, this game is worth having a look at. Yea the load up times are slow, but the game does give a good Warhammer tabletop feel, without having to paint any figures! Don't give up on it.
