I noticed that this was on GOG now so I've been playing it a bit.

This game isn't perfect and can be a little frustrating but it is still just as satisfying as I remember it being back in the day.

Anyone feel like reminiscing, providing tips on play or balance suggestions? Also I feel like there is a big difference between the two and three star difficulty levels (three stars is hardest).

Does the GOG version have Land Raiders, Knights Paladin and Odd Boyz?

I've seen Odd Boyz in the campaign and I found Lan Raiders in the custom game section just now. I couldn't see any Knight Paladins though, just Warhound/Reaver/Warlord. Maybe I scrolled past them?

Really need to play it again after having listened to Mark Bedford's Voxcast episode, where he more or less started out working for GW by making props for the game and acting in almost every FMV sequence the game had.

I remember writing to SSI back in the day, and they sent me a floppy disk in the post with a patch containing the Land Raider, Madboyz, and Knights.

I stopped playing when I found out how to game the campaign...Simply put, the AI always fielded equivalent points of orks. The assumption was that as you progressed, you'd filed progressively larger forces, for bigger games.....but if you just chucked out an IG support platoon, you'd get opposed by a couple of battlewagons..every game!..The final map looked very empty......and was done in a couple of minutes......
