RE: Nations at War Series
I also play both games. PG is the deeper of the two, obviously. The NAW series doesn't seem to have enough depth yet (and am not sure it ever will, quite frankly), and it also isn't focused on specific battles (although the Operation Cobra does focus on one encounter). The base NAW game has battles in Normandy, Arnhem and Remagen. With only 300 counters, the density is very light compared to PG and feels generic. You certainly don't get the "early war vs. late war" unit quality differences.
That said, playing most my games solo, I really like the chit draw mechanism.
I'm also on the fence about ordering Desert Heat. Yea, Jay... I know what you're going to say... "get off your butt and order it!!!" :-)
