SP is tactical - one unit=1 tank, basically. Platoon, company and battalion level, brigade maybe. Firing is individual shells versus appropriate armour, tabletop wargames with model soldiers style.

TOAW is 1 counter = 1 entire company, battalion or brigade or so, i.e. operational level (Divisions, corps or even army level). Combat resolution is probably shift tables etc, as in the old SPI type of operational and strategic games on paper hex mats of the 1970s?. Check out their website for any details.

So 2 totally different beasties aimed at different levels of combat.

Try the free download version of SP before making a purchase decision - limited to the 800x600 display mode, it will tell you if the full version (which handles 1080i just fine) is worth the purchase.

I have no idea if TOAW has a demo or not. Not my cup of tea, so have never looked.

You may want both - ours to move little 1/300 "model tanks" tabletop wargaming style and TOAW to shuffle paper counter stacks about in the traditional SPI(?) wargame mode.
