Korsun Pocket Description
Korsun Pocket is the long awaited sequel to The Ardennes Offensive in the Decisive Battles system. Korsun Pocket uses a greatly improved version of the Ardennes Offensive engine to recreate the desperate German attempt to escape encirclement on the Russian Front early in 1944. The battle is a tense and exciting struggle, with neither side having a decisive advantage, as the Russians struggle to form the pocket, then try to resist successive German rescue efforts and last ditch attempts at breakout.
