Unfortunately, it’s hard to imagine anyone but grognards getting excited about a single battle, particularly one that doesn’t have the name recognition of Stalingrad or Kursk. Although this extra battle gives Korsun Pocket a bit more variety than the traditional style of one box/one battle, it would have been nice to see more battles and maps like SSG’s earlier wargames. SSG has built this game on the same basic system they used in 1997’s Ardennes Offensive, which is updated and included here. They’ve suffered huge casualties, losing nearly 100.000 men. The Germans were stalled at the Dnepr River and then attacked on both flanks. The setting is the ill-fated German advance in the Ukraine in World War II. That’s right, computer-generated graphics of rolling six-sided dice. There are even dice to decide who wins a combat. You know, with hexes, counters, CRTs, all of that retro stuff. With Korsun Pocket, SSG returns to the genre that died in the 1990s: traditional board game wargaming. Decisive Battles of WWII Vol 2: Korsun Pocket
