Achtung Panzer:Operation Star is an Eastern Front wargame with solid graphics and sprawling battlefields that really emphasize the scope of WWII tank combat. The gameplay is a remarkably realistic turn-based and real-time operational/tactical hybrid wargame that continues the series begun by the acclaimed Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943.
I checked and you're right, it's been there all along.
"most players never knew it." Yes, but how would we when there's no mention of that feature in the manual. [:)]
I have struggled with this too. However, Andrey says that the in-game help contains a lot of useful data. I haven't really looked at it yet because I find it tough reading through the translated text.
Been using this. For example the first squad select the infantry
assign key 5, for the track assign key 1. Do this for whole company so infantry
carrying APC are 1,2,3,4, infantry 5,6,7,8 all working just fine.
In the squad graphic would have squad icon with 1,2,3,4 on bottom.
Would just use my own memory for the infantry. So I would choose squad #5 and
all little blue circles would be highlighted but no command circle.
They would run off and go do what ordered.
This morning for me this is new and don't know what I did different(yet).
I have 1 squad icon with 6/2??? I usually have only one number showing on icon.
Also when I choose 6 the little blue circles for infantry are highlighted
with a command circle around them.
How does it work for you? One number on icon or two (like 6/2).
Am wondering if I have been doing wrong or stumbled onto something
new.
Thank you kindly for any information.
While few men, legislators or otherwise,have felt down the years
that they could command ships of the line or marshal air armies
without specialized training, almost any fool has felt in his heart
he could command a regiment.
I dont remember seeing that, but I'm pretty sure it means that you have assigned one number for the infantry of that squad and one separate number for the vehicle of that squad.
Yes its squad bound to # 6 which rides on apc bound to #2.
In op mode their is only one number. In tac mode some
combination of mouse click makes both numbers appear.
Am usually too busy clicking when all of a sudden both
# appear.
Is there a way to lock camera on detached units???
This would be huge help.
Also hate when I click on icon and don't use number to select
all units even detached head to that spot.
Also[:'(] This game is so cool it really needs some way to record
battles,miss a lot of cool animations. Still waiting
to see Arms and Legs flying through the air from the arty.

I've never figured out a way to lock the camera on detached infantry from the APC.As far as recording-I use Bandicam-it's free and records 10 mins at a time.

If you look really close, you'll appreciate some gorey details. For instance, crew of Bren Carriers sitting dead with their mouths wide open.
Seeing those two guys dead like that, in the middle of the frozen fields, made me quite sad, actually.
The graphical representation of artillery bombardments are my favorite feature in this game.Could use a little more detail in the destructive effects on buildings but still not bad compared to other games of this type,not to say they don't look decent,but could use some improvement for immersive enhancement.Regardless,this is my favorite game.And hopefully one day Graviteam will visit the Western European front with this game(So I can command some American units)Not sure that will ever happen,but that is my ferverent hope.
