PREVIEW OF MAIN PATCH 580 CHANGES

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.

My own position is taking a pounding from enemy artillery and AI infantry (blue dots) can be seen approaching through the trees.

Full screenshot. Note the message log has filled up and the smoke effects that add to the fog of war.

Realistic and persistent smoke that drifts on the wind - I can almost smell it.

It's impossible to capture with a screenshot, but the new Tracer Smoke is amazingly immersive - now the tracers really do look lethal.

Enemy armor penetrates the position - note the smoke, dust and exhaust fumes obscuring any infantry that might be following.

The AI's plan of attack - well conceived and well executed, supported by accurate and very effective artillery fires.

I love your posts. Keep them coming.

Now if they would start improving the infantry model a little bit to add some more options and control I'd be very happy indeed.
