I'll let you know as soon as I've tried it. I'm knee deep in The Witcher right now though…
One thing I noticed about the minimum requirements for CoH that took me by surprise, you need 8GB hard drive space just for installation!!

The actual folder size could be a lot lower in the end.

Skaven- Yes, it's had it's ups and downs but when the rubber hits the road, I'm enjoying it. My initial disdain for it's no-base, no fleets, no Chaos (hopeful expansion) soon gave way to a so-so humdrum of the same moving orders given to to same soldiers on the same-looking map over and over again blues - but then I started really getting into it. The maps switched up, youre given more units, Eldar hit the scene, more choice in missions, it starts getting a lot more interesting. Did for me, anyway.
Bullshit DRM and no-save thing aside, I think it's a good game, I want to try a skirmish against a couple pc players and see how I fare. That's how an RTS gains the ultimate longetivity and becomes a great game for me - if I can play any race I want in random map skirmishes against the ai, and it's fun. If that shakes out well, ill be a happy camper!
Havent been able to do any gaming last two days, Im locked in homework mode right now. Plan on picking it up again soon, I havent even locked horns w/ the Tyranids yet.

I love Space marines so I can't complian about that,
the loss of base building is harsh blow , but the game really has an engaging story(at least for me). so I like it alot, plus it I love customizing my squads
