 Wonderful operational level strategy game October 14, 2008
Real time strategy games are fun no doubt. But there are times when I just want to practice strategy in a turn based environment, and "Korsun Pocket" fits the bill perfectly. As an old board gamer, I appreciate the job Matrix Games has done with its WW2 titles. I hope to own more in the future.
Best wargame since Steel Panthers! November 5, 2007
I would have to say that this game is an excellent WWII battle re-creation. This game hold true to the original battle as far as historical focus goes while allowing the player the chance to possibly change the outcome. The game is strategic in focus while maintaining enough tactical closeness to the battle to feel the heat of the fight. In addition to directing your units into combat, you must also manage supply, unit replacements and reinforcements. In my opinion it takes a game like Steel Panthers and zooms it out to include what happens before and after the fighting. A must for any serious wargamer!
 Korsun Pocket great game for WW2 enthusiasts April 4, 2007

The graphics and sound are not that great but the makers put a lot of effort into gameplay and the strategic aspect of the game. This is not an action game - it is a serious strategy / simulation game.

Not so long ago, hex-based wargamers faced daunting challenges including set-up time, playing space and quality opponents. These challenges forced most of us as adults to shelve our passion, content with the memories of high school and college "gamer clubs." Fortunately, thanks to the dedication of tireless developers, we can now trade our cardboard counters for the lure of a glowing screen. Korsun Pocket takes full advantage of today's robust software and architecture to create a hobbyist's dream: a robust, on demand, historically accurate gaming experience. If you have a wargaming background, Korsun Pocket's intuitive gameplay allows you to learn as you go. As you improve, the game offers a full range of options to help adjust for historical odds, player ability and "what if" scenarios. Korsun Pocket includes a campaign game; a handful of shorter, related scenarios and a bonus campaign centering on Hitler's desperate campaign in the Ardennes. Whether you choose to play as the Axis, Russians or Americans, this delightful PC wargame presents an elegant gift to the faithful among us.
Excellent game! April 1, 2004

Excellent turn-based, hex-based war game. Very easy to learn and understand, but hard to master. Because the mechanics are so simple (for example, artillery simply 'shifts' the odds) you can really focus on your strategy. It seems like I've played every game of this type going back to Apple II days, and this is the best.
