Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star is now on Steam!

*Note* This game use to be known as Achtung Panzer!: Operation Star but it got changed. [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/275290/?snr=1_7_15__13[/url] Demo- [url]http://www.graviteam.ua/home/news/43-new-demo-gtos.html[/url] So a hardcore World War 2 tactical wargame I am very into finally got released onto Steam and I am really excited. You see war games like these don't get the attention they deserve because most aren't sponsored by huge publishers nor are platforms like Steam usually interested in them because they won't sell. I encourage all of you to try out the demo and at least try something new, I know many of you are mainly FPS players but give a game like this a shot! If you have a mild interest in history this is a good game for you to, this is a tactical simulation of the soviet offensive around Kharkov and models the men and equipment down to the last detail. The game has two phases attached to the gameplay, one is the operational phase and than the action/tactical phase. Operational Phase- Here is where you are moving around units on the entirety of the map, ordering an attack or digging in are good examples. Units fatigue or use up fuel in this phase because they are traveling, the operational phase is split up in different sections but each action taking place is in real time and can be viewed even in the tactical phase. Units are represented by NATO symbols as you are not moving individually but rather platoons or battalions worth of men and equipment.

There are a lot of in-depth orders here, with planes and artillery to call in and of course attacking. This game goes so in depth that among some infantry units are wire layers that lay communication wire between units for command and control which is honestly incredible. Here is where the assigned orders you gave in the operational phase will be played out.

It’s an Eastern Front war game with solid graphics and sprawling battlefields that really emphasizes the scope of WWII tank combat. Want to step into the role of a commander in the very heart of Kharkov’s defense? You'll have everything the officers had back then: tanks, guns, and fearless soldiers. The success of each opposing force hangs in the balance every day. Your decisions will determine who wins the Battle of Kharkov. 8 operations for the Red Army and Wehrmacht More than 60 detailed units of the Soviet Union, Germany and UK, including Pz IV "Tiger", MkII "Matilda" and KV-1 with various modifications. Huge realistic landscapes (over 260 sq km), reconstructed by the topographic maps and photo. Quick battle anywhere in the operation areas. Mod utility set and campaign editor Features: High replayability and flexible AI. It chooses the best strategy based on behavior rather than a script. Scenarios can be replayed using different tactics, as though playing against a human opponent. Real soldier behavior: every soldier has several basic parameters, such as experience level, fatigue, and morale, which affect their behavior and effectiveness Detailed recreation of weapons and realistic ballistics: bullets and projectiles follow accurate trajectories Comprehensive vehicle damage system: engine, suspension, weapons, and aiming mechanisms can all be damaged separately, affecting the combat capabilities of the vehicle Destructible environment: nearly everything can be blasted and destroyed, from ground terrain to houses and enemy defenses. All traces of previous battles remain on the battlefield Dynamic day, night and weather effects, all of which affect combat through terrain traversability, battlefield visibility, hidden force capabilities, and more, smoke screens, light flares e.t.c. Military encyclopedia with 3D model viewer and detailed data on all units, describing their historical and in-game characteristics I hope you guys like it/try it out!
