Dawn of War weekend

This entire weekend I was visiting some friends in Kuilsrivier for playing network games. Is this case were were busy with "Dawn of War" (Warhammer 40K) and its expansion pack called "Winter Assault". Every patch and that expansion pack caused a lot of imbalances and shortcomings where somebody trid to fix them, but stuffed up something else in the process.

From Friday evening a friend of mine stayed over at my place so that we don't have to waste time on Saturday. Saturday early morning, I dropped him off at work at Century City. Near 2PM I got and SMS from him telling me that he didn't actually have to work that Saturday and the next day. Somebody didn't bother updating the shift roster and didn't tell him that he doesn't have to come to work for those two days. After picking him up, some lady phoned to urgently rent a costume for a party that evening in Kuilsrivier. After she left, we went to Kuilsrivier for the network games.

On Sunday morning, we woke up around 10AM. After waking up, we did a trip to the pharmacy to get some medicine against my flu. The trip to Kuilsrivier ended up getting a detour to Belhar to pick up the costume. Since that lady did not have her own cell phone and was on the road as well, it turned out to be a crazy chase all over that place. During a waiting period the starter decided not to respond anymore. I was most hapyp about that. After that chase and retrieving the costume and going down a double-laned one-way road in the wrong direction, we finally drove to Kuilsrivier.

The Dawn of War battles ended up every time in the same result, since the Space Marines are just too powerful. The new patch also allows to build Terminator sqauds without having to have a relic, and then those get dropped the whole time in somebody's base, which is a totally unfair method. Imperial Guards do not even have any decent anti-vehicle weapons, and they were supposed to be elite troops, but they are totally under-equipped. The game needs more balancing.
