Awesome! I wholeheartedly approve of your money making endeavor.
What I'm surprised nobody has commented on -
According to at least one expert review, These badges are better than spending the evening cuddling in an entirely platonic but quite pleasant fashion with your gorgeous gay friend.
Which actually got me a sale, I might add, to the lesbian friend of said expert reviewer.
Honestly, I'd prefer a Memoir '44 game for my iPad. If that ever happens, I hope that it can interface with the Steam version in some way.
I actually spoke with the head of Days of Wonder about this at PAX and his answer was that the team had tried, but the AI in their current game was complex enough that when run with the iPad's resources, it ground the game down to a crawling pace. he said the amount of variables the AI has to take into account in Memoir makes several orders of complexity more difficult than Ticket to Ride. Might happen with future hardware.
I'm going to try downloading the free version as well, but there are so many Dawn Of War packages floating around Steam that I have absolutely no idea what I should buy if I enjoy it.

If you want to play it PVP or if you want to play the full Last Stand mode you want Retribution.
If you're strictly a Single Player guy, then you want DoW2 and Chaos Rising (you'll be stuck with GFWL for PVP and most of the community has moved onto Retribution). The singleplayer in Retribution is good and you get more variety with the different armies but the missions and the story suffer a bit from the one size fits all problem. Even though you only get to use Space Marines in the first two titles I still think the campaign in Chaos Rising the best of the series.
Note that in all of the titles the Skirmish AI is dirt stupid and totally shit.

Of course it is. They're fuckin' Orcs. They are by definition stupid as shit, and everything they do works by literal magic and fairy dust. Their Red Cars go faster simply because they really, really believe they go faster.

That is a bit of a cop out though. It's a boardgame and supposed to be played against other people, that's what game center is for. Including a single player mode is just a knee jerk reaction to "it's a computer game now". And even if the marketing guys will not let a pure mutliplayer product out of the door one can get around that by inventing some new solitaire style gameplay like they did with Carcassonne.
its has a Pay the minimum or more pricing scheme (with the price being affected by how much people choose to pay). It started out a $2 and it is currently at $6.
Comes with Sanctum, Gemini Rue, A.R.E.S. and Nimbus.
Gives you Desura and Steam keys as well as direct download (so you can give the keys to other people if you already own them / don't care about connecting them to Desura and Steam).

Stupid indie bundles. I already own half that bundle! Bundle the games I don't own, fools!

I'm not even kidding, that's an actual rule.
STEAM HALLOWEEN SALE.
My wallet weeps penny-shaped tears.
