never heard of men of war until now and it looks awesome. From what I've seen so far from several gameplay videos is it is generally a real time strategy but you can take control of a specific units to aim it manually.

Precisely. It's still a bit awkward to control (infantry mainly), but it's pretty damn awesome. Also, each unit/vehicle has their own inventory, and vehicles are not units themselves, rather they need crew members in order for them to work.

Unless you count exploding or shooting them, because of all the open wounds....

Is there any reason to buy one Man of War installment over another?

When it says stand-alone expansion does it mean more like the Dawn of War series where you need all of them to get everything, or the Mount & Blade series where the 'stand-alone expansion' is pretty much just a sequel?

I'm not sure yet. Is this going to be a stand-alone expansion? I probably missed it, but if it is, it may be a Mount and Blade sort of deal.

Red tide, on the other hand, is stand-alone but it's strictly stand-alone.. almost like you're buying a mission pack with the game engine included to run it.

This game on the other hand will have multiplayer.. but it's too early for me to really tell if it will be able to use MoW stuff or not.

It'd be sweet if it used some of the new units from Red Tide.

They got 1500 in one day. Get this spread around to a few more sites (maybe some big names, like Rock Paper Shotgun, Destructoid, Kotaku, etc) and I can guarantee they'll hit that target!

Rock Paper Shotgun

EDIT: I forgot to mention. For those that don't know already, I believe I heard that if you play skirmish mode with a full house of 4 players then you can player "super hard" mode.

In super hard mode the enemy just carpet bombs you at the beginning of the level and doesn't stop.  No enemies come, just constant barrage...  Seriously, how else can they make the game harder?

No, the carpet bombers are stealth bombers that don't show up on the radar and they fire those cool anime lasers that shoot out a beam that seems to do nothing but then a second later the ground explodes.  Also it's set in Bali.
