Of the two, my preference and recommendation is SAW to start. MW is a good game, but SAW provides better games for learning the system and tactics. MW tends to be more one-sided. (easier to play as the U.S. with superior firepower)

Surcouf

Ozgur Budak, who designed the scenarios for Red Victory, did many of the scenarios in SAW. I consider him the best SB scenario designer in the business. Mike Cox, who did most of the rest is pretty darn good too. If you have any interest in playing against another human, then I would highly recommend SAW. I wasn't involved in the design process for Modern War, but in the little experience I have had playing it, I don't think very many of the scenarios are well balanced. It's pretty hard to win as the bad guys. But if you just want to play against the AI, it does have some pretty cool toys.
