About Battle For Korsun

January 1944. The German Army had their last toehold on the Dneiper River. This salient projected between two powerful Soviet army groups, the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts. Though weakened in their previous efforts against the Germans, on January 25th and 26th, these two powerful groups attacked and surrounded two German corps.
The Germans responded quickly to this threat, hurrying reinforcements from other sectors. Their relief drive made good initial progress, but stalled in the face of stiff Soviet resistance and both sides antagonist, "General Mud". In the end, the trapped Germans made a desperate breakout attempt from the pocket. Less than half of the encircled forces escaped the trap, with none of their heavy weapons or equipment.
Battle For Korsun is a simulation of these battles in January and February 1944. Players control the various German and Soviet forces which took part in these struggles. The Soviet player must coordinate the offensives of his Fronts to encircle the Germans quickly before the Germans powerful reinforcements arrive. The German player must form a pocket perimeter, then orchestrate his relief drive with his Panzer divisions to rescue their trapped comrades

Nice map and tactically interesting to play. Unfortunately I have not been able to finish a game due to crashes. Manual too brief to know why certain actions can / cannot be done. If the technical problems are solved then I would recommend it.17 found this helpful
Too many bugs at its current version, rule book is a joke (no real wargamer would dare to write this short content-less rulebook), seems they just try to make small money by underdevelloped game. That is a shame because the Korsun Pocket situation is relly interesting.....15 found this helpful
For fans of turn-based strategies, despite the inflated price for our region. Buy at discounts and enjoy. Rating - will last for a few days: (7.5 out of 10) Pros: ✅Quite a nice visual component. ✅Ability to play with a friend. ✅Fast entry threshold. ✅There is a small manual. ✅There is localization into different languages. Minuses: ❌Frequent crashes. ❌Relatively high price for such a project. ❌The game is very simple and there is no supply or number of troops (soldiers/equipment) in a combat unit. The note: ⚡The game at the beginning seems very simple, but the more moves there are, the more interesting it is to play because the Wehrmacht and the Red Army receive reinforcements from different sides, which sometimes changes the course of the battle. In 5 playthroughs, I never had a scenario repeat itself.10 found this helpful
What I love the most about this game is it’s simplicity, it reminds me of the old Avalon Hill board game “Blitzkreig”! This game has so much potential and I love playing it - when it’s working - that is. Constant crashes have ended my playing it, I’m hoping some fixes come out and soon. The manual could also use some work. Half the time I have no idea what’s going on. If the improvements are made I would purchase the add ons in a minute.8 found this helpful
Simple small game, You get what you pay for.5 found this helpful
I would not recommend this game to anyone. It feels like an incomplete game. It is full of bugs, so bad to the point that you cannot even complete a playthrough of the game. I'm calling out Steam for even letting things like this be here in the first place, this is just a scam taking money from people. It feels like a fledgling first time game designer through something out, and it was incomplete and he has not gone back and kept up with updates nor debugging. Waste of money, DO NOT BUY. I was looking for a WWII game that had some ease of play to it, something where you don't have to have a degree to get into it (like HOI4), just a good old battle of a well known action. But it is not this game.4 found this helpful
