Space bar in combat

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.

Space bar in combat

Post by toddtreadway »

I couldn't find this in the manual (though it may be there).

What is happening when I hit the space bar after combat resolution? It looks like the die is rolling again, but it is also unselecting/selecting active units and thus changing odds. I assume there is no re-rolling of dice (as much as we might want that sometimes). Anyone know what is going on? A minor bug perhaps?

If you click on a stack, usually only one unit is active.

If you hit the space bar all units in the stack become active and if you hit it again only the original unit is active again.

The spacebar is a very usefull tool.

Units cannot be used in combat twice in one turn but of you are selective you can attack out of a hex twice in one turn with different units.

if you can attack a hex twice in one turn it is easier to kill a unit compared to attacking the unit once with large odds.
