How do you think this game will compare to something like this game:

Which, as far as I know, is this games only competition. Will the combat use the same system as NCP, WIA, and Civil War game?

Hi
Its the same subject but on a different scale.
Something like TOAW and COmbat Mission
ROP uses the AACW/NCP/WIA system so its an operational/strategical game. Combat will be resolved the same way (maybe with some improvements on the battle report) but with no tactical battles.
H&M si a pure tactical battle game so, they are kind of complementary.

No competition at all. I beta tested and own H&M and it is a really nice game but it is strictly a tactical game. RoP is very similar to the previous AGEOD games with some nice enhancements and will cover the entire SYW at a strategic/operational level. Get them both!

Yeah I owned all of the Great Battles of... games a long time ago. They were really nice games. I bought GB of Alexander off of Ebay several years ago but had trouble getting it to run in XP. I hope that GOG picks up the series and re-releases them. Slitherine is releasing Fields of Glory in a coupdle of months. Hopefully it is similar to the GB games.
I am still hoping that AGEOD gets around to releasing a Second Punic War titles at some point. hint hint Phil
I am happy though that ROP is about to be released because this is one of my favorite periods of wargamming.

You're not kidding brother. I tried in vain to find books on the warfighting in the age of enlightenment and books on the 7 years war in Europe here in various bookstores stateside. No luck. I had to order from Amazon.
If you go to the "German History" section and knew nothing about that area of europe, you would now know the following:
(1) Austria had some type of involement in the Naploeonic wars
(2) Then the Nazi's came...
Pathetic really as these wars had a great effect on Thomas Paine and other who advocated for Independence for the US.
