<r> I found this gem in my local secondhand bookshop: <LINK link="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3128118-order-of-battle"><s>[link=https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3128118-order-of-battle]</s>Order of Battle: German Panzers in World War II<e>[/link]</e></LINK> by Chris Bishop. Full of maps ...

I've just received my boxed copy (not an upgrade; I bought the full edition, but didn't want to start an entirely new thread). Just wanted to say it's beautiful and helped me get stuck in to the game that little bit more. Great job, guys!

Exciting! I hope that whatever Plan B is, it'll retain the personality/politics aspect. Looking forward to hearing about it.

Wodin, thank you for the massive list! I've added all to my 'to read' list; they all really appeal. I'm hoping to pick up Barbarossa Unleashed soon, but might delve into a couple of the shorter ...

I'm alright with actions games (FPSs, etc.), but I'm much the same with strategy games. If anything on Steam appeals but it's not turn-based, I go straight to the Discussions forums and search to check if there's a tactical pause.

That said, Hand of Fate does look appealing.

There was a very good LP on youtube that really helps to understand Operation Star.
Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star LP Operations and deployment phase, part 1

Brilliant! Thanks, Rush!

How did I miss that there was a detailed Tank Encyclopedia in Op Star? I wouldn't have waited so long if I'd known! I wonder how they could improve on it in Mius Front, it seems extremely comprehensive (the graphs and charts are immensely pleasing).

Much appreciated, M_R. I may well take you up on that! I opted for just the base game; I'll get DLC further down the line if it appeals enough.

I'll definitely be following the release of Mius Front - it certainly looks gorgeous!

Aye, I've had my eye on it. [s]Do you recommend any DLC, or is it good as-is to start with?[/s] Sokolovo it is. Thanks!

I've never played Operation Star, but these screens have me drooling for Mius Front.

There appears to be some slight mould on the shoes and possibly some of the clothing too; it's often products with organic materials that mould first, so it would make sense that it's the tobacco, leather and cotton(?) that's starting to go. Interesting! I hope it's not a hoax.

I would love a wishlist, although my Excel spreadsheet is doing the job just fine for now.
