Battles from the Bulge and Highway to the Reich

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Battles from the Bulge and Highway to the Reich

Does this game share the same engine concept as HttR (i.e. you order a HQ unit and it will coordinate the subordinate units to fulfill the order)? In other words, if I'm familiar with HttR, will this be the same style of gameplay (which would be awesome)?

Yes.

In general, you may regard each next game in the series as superset of the prior game functionality RDOA -> HTTR -> COTA -> BFTB.

In some cases, mechanics/functionality changed to be more sophisticated and better model real world dynamics. Some examples would be supply and mixed mode movement.

Thanks. Could you please define the other two games in that list? I don't know the acronyms.

A quick look at the Panther Games website leads me to believe:
