2011 is fast approaching.  When will Operation Star be released in US?

Yes, just some news would be nice.

may be february 2011

Great news.  Looking forward to it.

Is there any news now February is approaching? Will it be released on GamersGate? Thanks.

I really enjoyed playing  APK43.  I'm looking forward to Operation Star. 

Will Operation Star be available through Steam or GamersGate?

Personally, I prefer the "old fashioned" marketing method through a distributor (NOT PARADOX) like Battlefront, Matrix, or HPS, where you can get a physical CD and be part of an active forum to discuss the game as opposed to the current developer feedback which is nonexistent.

I might start learning to read Russian and see if I can get a hold of Operation Star from .ru sources...

I realize that English is not Graviteam's primary language, but the lack of any information regarding content included with Operation Star is disturbing.  Will we have campaign editors in addition to the tactical editor?  Will we be able to modify individual units?   Is the February release still on time?

Graviteam's lack of communication with their English speaking customers could be mitigated by their association with a publisher that already has an active and involved forum of dedicated users.  If Battlefront releases their new Combat Mission and Matrix releases PC-O in February, I fear that a release of Operation Star will not even be noticed. :'(

From what Susana has stated over on the Paradox forums, Operation Star is not to be published via Paradox which probably means GamersGate as well.

This is tragic Graviteam! This game is nearly a year old for us English customers and is longer for you Russian guys. The game is *good*, and we eagerly await news of its release. Either a yes or a no if its going to be localised.
Thanks.

Graviteam has mentioned that they intend to sell the product direct themselves, from their website. Therefore, any worries that it is not being published by any other publisher, or released on Gamersgate, is somewhat premature, especially as Vlad only said maybe a February release. Maybe is not the same as definately, so we just need to be a little patient. Also, when all is said and done, there is not a terrific amount of localization to do - the game is short on text, and English sounds are not needed - so I cannot see that being a show stopping issue, especially as they have done it before, and Vlad's English is actually pretty good.

Dear Graviteam:

You are very talented and make great games.  Your English speaking customer communication however is HORRIBLE. 

Some further information would be appreciated.  :)

Please make in soon because if you release operation star after Battlefront releases CM-Normandy and Matrix releases Panzer Command Ost Front, your game may not even be noticed.

Maybe March?

April??

If you are from the West like me, its time to say last rights over this one (meaning OpStar). Publisher of the last game denies any involvement. Nothing from the developers other that a guttural 4 or 5 word response every 6 months and I doubt it's because they are working 18 hour days readying it for release. I bought both games that have been released in the West and think they are special but particularly one can see the potential to be awesome. These Russians are highly talented programmers of game code (check out DCS) but they don't know squat about getting their product to the end buyer. Out.

I imagine if Graviteam had some information regarding Operation Star or any other products they would announce it.  However, their complete lack of communication shows an appalling lack of respect for their customer base.  That "aint no way to make friends and influence people" folks.

Maybe May?

I hope we're pleasantly surprised with a May, 2011 release.  It will be a surprise if Op Star is ever released.

Is there anyway that i can buy russian version? I hope there will be an English version but i can happily play Russian version as I know ui and the game is not storu driven.

yeah I was thinking of this, but it would be nice to have it in English though. I am not sure also if there would be some kind of national IP barrier to buying from a Russian website...or credit card problems.

. I agree but after playing demo i am pretty confident i ll not have any problem with Russian versio.it is pitty though we cannot even buy russian version nor graviti selling the game through their web page

Combat Mission - Battle For Normandy & Panzer Command - Ostfront have both been released.  I now have more tactical ww2 battles than I handle.  I would have truly enjoyed seeing how Operation Star would have compared.  Too bad.  I've been checking into this forum on a weekly basis hoping for some news.  I don't think I'll be visiting any time soon. 

Good bye.  It's been real ...................... :(

This is a shame. I also will probably look into CM2, but I think Achtung Panzer really was a ground breaking game. Enjoyable too, setting up those ambushes in those small villages, watching the half tracks burn with the Molotov cocktails, etc. Edge of the seat stuff, really innovative in so many ways.

At least Graviteam you owe us some kind of explanation? Is it, or is it not, being localised for a European release? Such a waste if not.

I've noticed that the "Операция Звезда" shown on the main page banner is now in English, "Operation Star". Perhaps we'll see something after Graviteam has finished up with all of Operation Star's patches for the Russian version.

I think that the English release will be sooner or later :)

I would hope so!

Sooner would be alright, and later if necessary for Graviteam to do what they've got to do. At any rate, I for one will not be playing Combat Mission - Battle For Normandy & Panzer Command - Ostfront in the meantime! I am still fighting hard around Kharkov in the first iteration of AP....

I hope Operation Star will not know the same way that Fall Blau :(

 I'm really impatient to play OpStar. I'm playing K1943 with a real pleasure and I could not imagine OpStar will not be !

So, Graviteam, are we getting Operation Star in English language? Are you going to localise it? Either a yes or no would be nice to know, to stop us continually waiting for it to be released?

Thanks.

This is what Andrey at SimHQ said about Operation Star:
