Players can re-create one of the defining Russo-German battles of WWII in Paradox Interactive's hybrid strategy title Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943. Gamers join either the USSR army or the German Wehrmacht as they engage in bloody, tank-heavy combat to wrest control of the strategic Ukrainian city of Kharkov in six separate battle scenarios. The gameplay alternates between turn-based strategies and real-time tactics as players maneuver 250 individual soldiers, over 80 unit types, and more than 40 vehicles around highly destructible environments. Combat was designed to be true to life, with daylight and weather cycles, realistic ballistics and vehicle damage, and more than 40 specific weapons re-created using information from military archives. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
