The first Dawn Of War game and it's expansions were epic. So the maps weren't the most varied and the story beyond the original and winter assault simply consisted of pick an army, proceed to smash every other army in range to pieces until only you remain (pretty much there were very little intrigues in the story development for them) was amazing. I had endless hours of fun playing it though I did get bored in Soulstorm (I think mostly because they tried adding too many little modifiers and the new unit types were perhaps obviously overpowered as smurf) I still need to fire that one up and complete a game of it.
The second Dawn of War game and it's expacs definitely had more story development to them, I really like the squad management system too (nowt wrong with pulling together a massive army and smurfing trout up left right and centre but when that army is as selective in it's composition as say a Space Marine Chapter, it does feel kind of disappointing to have a massive army of faceless grunts whom don't seem to have any character to them or progression between battles despite lifespans measured in millenia of war) I only played the first expac for 2 and mean to buy the others when I get the chance but I kind of want to get a better computer first as this laptop I am running with atm is beginning to show it's age.
