DESCRIPTION

Using an improved version of The Ardennes Offensive engine, Korsun Pocket takes place on the Russian Front, along the Dnepr River in the early months of 1944. It was here that the German forces made their last, desperate attempt to escape the circling forces of the Russian army. Players assume command of either the German or Russian forces in a battle that historians claim could have been, "yet another Stalingrad along the Dnepr River."

Designed to be more fluid and realistic than traditional strategy games, prior battles can influence enemy movement and military units have a variety of combat and supply abilities. During battle, players are updated with relevant and accurate data, allowing them to make informed decisions against their AI or human-controlled opponents, so that in the end, bragging rights will be based on generalship — not luck. ~ Damian Francis, All Game Guide
