Yup, seems everyones copying Relic's games now. Dawn of War, their other big strategy game, also has squads.

I may buy this, I like RTS like dow/coh, but they don't have the boring stuff like chopping down trees and making farms. They have the ingenious point system where you gain resources from taking points on the map. Another feature which will surely be copied at some point.
