The Wargamer has reviewed Achtung Panzer Operation Star!!!

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.

The review is pretty accurate and mostly positive. He could have mentioned the absence of a replay button, which means that you cannot back up and see something that just happened and that one has missed.

Something i would add is that when you have decided on your goal for the tactical battle and have given you troops there initial orders you will want to spend a fair amount of time with the tactical battle running at an increased speed untill a contact is made and depending on your system specs you can speed up the battle to 6x normal speed.
I only run a core2duo and can only increase the speed to 3x normal, not such a big deal as you can choose how long you want the tactical battles to last in the options menu from 30 mins through to 2 hours so if you cant hot the 6x speed dont choose the 2 hour battles.
Another note is the operational part of the game is far superior than it is in the demo, being you are no longer restricted to one unit occupying a 1km x 1km section of the map and this simple change makes things a lot more flexible for manoeuvre. Great game.
