New PBEM Tournament Scenario!

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.

New PBEM Tournament Scenario!

Post by Rob Gjessing »

Hi Guys..

We, over at Run5, have recently announced a new PBEM Tournament based upon a brank spanking new scenario titled - "Rommel - Master of Battle".

This tournament is unique in that we are seeking to start the Tournament on a level playing field - no one will have played this scenario before! Its a new scenario developed by JSS and myself specifically for the purpose of this Tournament. The scenario will NOT be released until the Tournament commences - so that no one is able to get any battlefield experiance - and that all Tournament players start off on T Day at the same place - that is no one will be familiar with the scenario (except JSS and myself - but I will be an easy beat anyway).

The Tournament is a fictional battle based upon historical german and soviet forces around the area of Starlingrad. More info about the scenario/battle can be found over at the Run5 WebSite including a copy of the map and a briefing for each side. Head over to the Run5 site, select the link to Discussion and then enter the PBEM Forums for more information and discussion.

We are hoping to kick this Tournament off as a 64 player Tournament - we welcome veteran and new players alike.. remember - even newbies will have fun with this one and they stand a good chance of progressing through the Tourament given that no one else will have played this scenario before - so some of the 'battle advantage' that veteran players have from knowing the ins and outs of the TAO and KP scenarios wont exist in this one!

We already have 32 players who have registered - so there are only 32 slots left! If you are interested in taking part in this Tournament, then you should read this thread at the Run5 site for details about the rules and how to register:

Isn't that bizarre?
