As Mobhack said chalk & cheese I would call TOAW a strategic & this a tactical game.

A game turn represents a day or weeks in TOAW minutes in this game.
You fight a war in TOAW & a battle in this game

Both are thinking mans game to play well, TOAW also you have to learn the interface, to me it is not intuitive.

For me this game is easier to get into, more immersive & fun.

The difference I suppose is the mechanics of this game are actually fairy simple, so you can pick up & play virtually straight away.
Your thought goes into developing your tactical skills & using units effectively.

With TOAW you really do need to learn the rules to master the game so its a lot harder to get into, killing cardboard counters also doesn't draw you in the same way.
