Many units and weapons in ''Dawn of War'' have a specific role. Anti-vehicle weapons have good damage against vehicles but ineffective against infantry squads, and vice versa. Strong ranged combat units tend to be weak in close combat. You can't just build a bunch of units, select them all and send them to the enemy base; they will get slaughtered. You have to build your army according to what the opponent has, choose which units will be in front and which will flank or hang back, and you must see that your units choose targets they are effective against.
