The fight between Germany and the Soviet Union is unquestionably one of the greatest struggles of all mankind. Fromblitzkrieg and encirclements, to harsh winters and retreat, the Eastern Front was full of victories and defeats for both sides. But this is what makes wargames about it so fascinating, because it was a fairly even fight. Most gamers prefer a battle that isn’t lopsided or predetermined; I think it’s that little armchair general in all of us. Just last month Matrix Games releasedAchtung Panzer: Operation Star, the sequel to Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943. Kharkov 1943 was a fantastic game, groundbreaking with its meshing of tactical battles within the larger strategic interface; but it was brought forth by Paradox Interactive. So now I’m curious on how Matrix’s release compares to it and what improvements have been added to this already interesting idea.
