I'll probably play it, but if it doesn't have any kind of cover system I won't play it long. Company of Heroes and Dawn of War II totally ruined RTS games for me. I do wish CoH and DoW II had voice commands because I have caught myself telling the units to "Get into cover!", "They're pinned, flank right!", "Retreaaaaaaat!"

Until it turns into something like this:
"get the &*^ out of there"
"I didn't tell you to *&^^ do that"
Voice recognition still has a long ways to go.

It can be frustrating at times, even the messy way-points of the driving vehicles.
I tell it to fall back while going backwards and it has the nerve to turn around, expose itself from the back and drive off. -_-
But CoH is a good WWII RTS game. I own all 3 of CoH.
Have you play Starcraft, Elader Arkon?
The fact, Blizzard's games have no such "covering system" other than Terrain and Object coverage.
Starcraft 2 is no different, except vision difficulties.

Played SC? I played the daylights out of that game. I also played the daylights out of the C&C series. Never got much into the Age of Empires games though, because one thing I've never liked about the genre was base building. I feel if I want to build something like that, I'll go play the Civilization series (which I do play, and rather enjoy). Just gimme my units and lets roll. This probably explains why I tended to suck it up at SC despite my hours played. 
If my rush didn't win me the game or give me significant advantage I was done for. Oddly enough, rushing wasn't used much early on in the Red Alert series (1 & 2), so I managed to rake in quite a few wins in those two games.
But then I found the DoW series. The first being riotously fast paced in comparison to the others (powernode > barracks > fightin' units = serious fighting in the same time it took for a rush in SC to just be getting started.) DoW II came along and the addition of cover/removal of base building literally changed the way I thought about the genre and to some extent games in general (heh, I should post my thoughts on changing combat and AI mechanics in MMOs.). I just recently got into CoH thanks to THQ's wonderful deal earlier, so it hasn't impacted me quite as much yet. Though I do like the much better vehicle movements...
