I have that d-day game, but haven't played it. I'd forgotten I'd bought it until i read your post.
I haven't played Steel Wolves, but did have the pacific version. the reviews are about right.
Why they put in a chit / cup system instead of a die roll i have no idea. The tedium of having to pull 20 chits from different cups and then just decide to abort or be forced to abort is too time-wasting to describe.
I played 2 years and was winning the war, but figured I'd never set it up again so on ebay it went.
Has some good mechanics but some poor ones too.
