Strictly, the publisher was the same for both TvT and SF1942, but the development teams were different.
TvT is by all appearances dead, and the developer does not appear to be working on anything (and for sometime before the release of the Western version - which was a complete debacle). MP is supported, but most people report problems with it.
SF1942, was released, working, in the Russian market - and some time later as a broken/poorly localised version by the publisher in the Western market. The initial problems seem to have been largely overcome, and the developer has completed an expansion pack "Fall Blau", and is/was continuing to work on a wargame Karkhov 1943. Whether this is still ongoing, and what arrangements either has for a future release in the West is open to speculation, but even if nothing further happens it is a more complete and functional product (if a little quirky). There is no MP support yet.
