Random Weather ?

Korsun Pocket is a the second game using the award winning SSG Decisive Battles game engine. Korsun Pocket recreates 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.

Random Weather ?

Post by Black Cat »

Assuming your playing the Campaign when selected from the Options Screen.

Does this mean that you will experience completely random and different weather in every game or are there a limited, though differient number of Weather Templates that will repeat ?

Thanks

I believe there are only 2 types of weather, Frozen and Thaw.

If it is not random, then you can see what the weather wiill be up to 7 days in advance. And in any given scenario it will always be the same every time you play.

If it is random then you can only see the weather up to 2 days in advance. And it is different every time you play a scenario. It makes planning more difficult - increasing the difficulity level.

Random weather will be different each time you play the game, except that the first four or five turns of the Campaign Game are fixed to ensure good ground conditions. This is because the Russians would not have launched their offensive in the middle of a thaw. The mud will come though, and both players need to be prepared.
