DOW1 is one of the best RTS ever. I still play it now, brilliant gruesom fun 
Id say you mightbe better off not getting the soulstorm expansions, it kinda spoiled it for me with the stupid flying units.
DOW2 is a pile of s
t. There is no strategie involved, you just move your couple of units into cover, kill everything in range, and repeat. I was bored stless by it. Its like a super crappy dumbed down version of company of heros, so Id say skip that one.

My only negative is the zoom level. Fully zoomed out you still feel far too close to the units. You can counter this with a mod available on the internet which lets you zoom out much further.
A brilliant RTS and with all the DLC, some serious game time.

DoW2 is just poor. Felt like there was little to no strategy to it, and that was limited due to very low troop numbers. Only part I enjoyed of the game was the 'survival' multiplayer co-op.

In the Retribution addon you can have troops as well as heroes - at the end of missions you can pick either troop upgrades or hero equipment upgrades. Similar in mission too - requisition/power can be spent on either hero upgrades or more troops. You also get to do the campaign as any of the races (except Necrons), in fact I was glad I bought the game for the Ork in the pirate hat alone!Loved DoW1, played it alot.

Horses for courses in terms of DoW 1 vs 2, I prefer having a small amount of decent troops that I can upgrade so DoW2 *just* wins it for me.
