RTP or IT?; Which should I go for?

I've been out of the NA loop for many years. Should I grab Iron Triangle or Rise to Power? Are there any huge differences or something I'd be missing if grabbed one instead of the other?

Thanks guys! :)

PS - does Rise to Power include the original Japanese language track, and any idea if Iron Triangle will?

Sorry for the late response.

Rise to Power and Iron Triangle are noticeably different.

---RtP---
-Turn-based strategy phases where you build up your fiefs in small individual castle maps
-Real-time battles fought in fields/mountains maps or around castle towns
-Seven playable scenarios
-Ability to train officers' stats with special facilities/trainers
-Battles are fought one at a time, and can only have a max of two clans per side with 12 officers max each side
-Officer stats are decently balanced: Someone with 58 Lead can still feasibly defeat someone with 85 Lead based on other factors

---IT---
-Real-time strategy phases(can be paused) where you build up your country on a near-full-scale map of Japan
-Inclusion of Technology and negotiating trade with other daimyo
-Nine playable scenarios, each can also be played in Local Mode which involves just a section of Japan for a quick game
-Challenge mode, which is actually CHALLENGING
-Ability to edit stats of historical officers
-Battles are all fought when they happen along with anything else going on, and can involve as many officers/clans as who get involved
-Officer stats are more biased towards higher stats: That same guy with 58 Lead will have a tough time with the 85 Lead guy

Both games keep original Japanese voices in-game, while the narration is suitably well-done in English.

I prefer Iron Triangle, myself.
