<strong>[ Review ]</strong>

<p>Real & Simulated Wars has a surprisingly positive <a href="http://kriegsimulation.blogspot.com/2010/02/achtung-panzer-kharkov-1943-review.html" target="_blank">review</a> up for <strong><a href="http://www.paradoxplaza.com/games/achtung-panzer-kharkov-1943" target="_blank">Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943</a></strong>.</p><blockquote><p>Since this is a single-player only war game, a comment about content, replayability and AI. There are scenarios covering 4 points of the real battle, and two of them can be played from both the German and Russian side making a total of 6 scenarios. The game includes a nice 3-D battle generator, packed with options (see screenshots below). The AI in the 3-D battles is non-scripted and seems to be driven by the victory locations. I've seen the AI pulling some nice tricks like throwing indirect fire in front of its advance. Also, the enemy AI is not suicidal and knows to take a hint, pulling back to try another approach if things are not going exactly dandy.

It actually is a pretty damn amazing game so far and surprisingly hardcore to booth. The AI is also damn good for a game like this. Especially night battles can be long and bloody chess games where positioning your pieces and trying to guess your opponents next move is key. It feels like a mix between Combat Mission and Close Combat and I must admit that it has me hooked.
