It's almost as if you forgot there's an actual multiplayer mode being sold with the game. I imagine you guys already know this very well, but here's a short list of rather basic and glaring multiplayer game issues present in v1.03:

• 1) Why show an option to see the opponent's moves when there is no turn replay? Why isn't there anyway??
  2) Why do games indicate the opponent's side to be exactly the opposite of what he's actually playing?
  3) Why did the chat window turn out so bad? What was wrong with the one in PzC?? This feels (again) intentionally dumbed down for touchscreens, which is turning out to be a really bad call overall.
  4) Why would you have this strange mixture of a few auxiliary units that can move during the first turn while any newly requisitioned unit can't? On maps that state full freedom of requisitioning? Either none move or all move ... no?

These things are so basic and were working fine in the game's predecessor that it's hard to understand why multiplayer was released in such a dire state. Sorry, but this still feels like a half-assed beta instead of an improvement over what came before. Please don't explain this away by saying "it's a new game", as that would be insulting

Additional to all points mentioned, what I'm looking for is an option in (multiplayer) scenarios that would allow players to choose a faction (e.g. a distinctive requisition list, not "side of the map") in a multiplayer match.
So for instance two players can battle it out as an ork vs. ork match or imperial guard vs Blood Angels Space Marine on the same scenario. I think this feature would pave the way for multiplayer tournament and ladder play.
