Status: offline 		I highly recommend this title. While the UI takes a bit of getting used to, AP is an extremely immersive, visually appealing and realistic East Front WW2 game.

Every battle plays out differently and the AI is one of the best in this genre, particularly when it's on the defensive.

It's not all about tanks either. With good use of your infantry and AT units you can stop a Panzer charge in its tracks.

And the artillery model is outstanding - it's just like being there as a fire control officer with none of the arcade effects, just realism.

10 out of 10 from me.

? I thought the artillery model was very simplistic. Just click then the artillery lands. Certainly more simplistic that CM. Maybe its changed.
