What Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault is

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault is a real time strategy (rts) game developed by Relic Entertainment and released in 2005. It was published by THQ. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Winter Assault is the first expansion to Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War for Windows by developer Relic Entertainment and publisher THQ. Based on Games Workshop's tabletop wargame, Warhammer 40,000, Dawn of War: Winter Assault was released in September 2005. Some time after its initial release, Winter Assault and Dawn of War were coupled together in a double pack which featured some art on a fold out cover, an Ork with a flamethrower, or a group of Imperial Guard tanks lined up for attack. Though Winter Assault required the base game to play, its follow-up expansions, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm were stand-alone, not requiring the base game.
