HPS Waterloo vs. Matrix Games Tiller's Battleground Napoleonic Wars

Well, shoot. That makes absolutely no sense to me. How can they be different games if Tiller made them, and they use the exact same engine. What is different about the Matrix version? Who thought it would be a good idea to confuse everything?

I think the HPS versions are more widely played, correct? That is what I have for all my Napoleonics and Civil War games.

It's kind of like buying parts for a 2005 Ford Mustang and expecting them to work on a 1965 Mustang. The Battleground Matrix games are the first generation and HPS/JTS are the second generation so to speak. I think you'll find more of the HPS/JTS games being played but there are the fans of the Battleground game who keep it alive. Personally I sold off my Battleground games once I started playing the HPS/JTS versions.
