Chuiu, I might have to disagree with you (partly) on that. I'd say that everything is split up between anti-infantry and anti-armor with different degrees in between (with a few units used anti-building if you will). For example, the Panzer IV Infantry Support tank is good against pretty much all infantry, and it's weak against almost all armor except light vehicles. On the other hand, a Panzer V Panther rocks against armor but is fairly weak against infantry. Counters aren't on a per-unit basis as many different units can meet a specific task. Also, with infantry upgrades like bazookas and light MGs, even basic riflemen and Wehrmacht grenadiers gain late-game versatility, although they will have a pretty difficult time destroying a king tiger. The units that are good against any other (M26 Pershing, King Tiger, etc.) tend to be the slowest, and you need to escort them with some more armor/infantry. The basic infantry that you build early game still serve many useful purposes later on, especially if you upgrade them, but you'll never find riflemen firing their guns at a tank and blowing it up. I hope that clears some ideas up for you, Chuiu.
I don't know how many of you played Warhammer 40,000 (the actual game by Games Workshop), but I must have sunk at least $1,000 into that hobby, and it was one hell of a lot of fun. So far, space marines, orks, eldar, and tyranids have been confirmed as factions. Also, you know that it's going to be grittier than StarCraft II, another personal taste of mine (although I seem to remember my 1.00 disc back when it launched having a mature rating, though I could be mistaken on this).
BeDazed, I don't want to argue with you, so why don't you do yourself a favor and purchase CoH? Honestly, man, you will love it.

Tyranids are confirmed? 'Bout time.
Has anything been said on how they are changing DoW2 from DoW's play mechanics?

I have currently enjoyed most of the RTSes I've bought. But none of them lasted more than 3 weeks. 2 days to beat the entire campaign in hardest mode, a week to know pvp mechanics, and the other to enjoy and be bored with it.
It looks like they're going to add floors in a building.
None.
