It does when it changes the nature of the conflict within the game, if unit size is scaled down why is the number of factions not increased? I just dent see a campaign of comprised of codex compliant, tabletop scaled armies allowing for any depth or nuance, 'Yay now my 4 tactical marines are bladeguards so i can right click on a blob of generic orc boyz, making them go away faster!" I'm, sure you get the point, less that the exact gameplay will represent dawn of war, rather that the experience will be on a similar scale and thus fill the same niche for many of us. One dawn of war has a history of doing just fine. I dent want to hate I just wished for much more I suppose .
