Across the Dnepr is the title of the addition to the turn-based strategy game, Korsun Pocket. Thanks to him we have the opportunity to take part in the events taking place in July 1941, when Operation Barbarossa was still in its initial phase and German troops were preparing to enter the heart of the Soviet Union.

Across the Dnepr™ is a new campaign scenario for the Korsun Pocket™ game. It recreates the events of July 1941, when Operation Barbarossa was in full swing and German armies were poised to enter the heartland of Russia. Army Group Center is aimed at the vital objective of Smolensk, located on the Dnepr river and defending the shortest route to Moscow.

Although their frontier armies had been overwhelmed, the Red Army was far from finished. Remnant forces kept fighting and new formations arrived on the battlefield, ordered to make immediate, if somewhat suicidal, counterattacks. The result is a swirling melee as the two armies clash head on, and notions of flank security are abandoned in a desperate fight for survival.

Each Russian casualty, whether man or machine, can ultimately be replaced from Russia's vast reserve, reserves the Germans simply don't have. Each day that the Germans are delayed at Smolensk is another day purchased for the defence of Moscow and the rest of Russia.
