This game looks a little like Korsun Pocket, which I don't really care for. If not what other games does this one compare to? Thanks.

Hi Cheesehead!
-KP is an operational level game, this one is a tactical one
-Smallest unit in KP is a regt., sometimes battalions. In FPG the smallest unit is a platoon.
-KP is hex and turn-based (U-go-I-go). FPG is tile and turn-based (but WEGO)
I don't have any other game that compares with FPG, maybe somebody does.
Cheers,

I think that FPG is also a lot more playable than KP. In KP you spend a lot of time on logistics and such. In FPG, becuase it is tactical (grand) and not operational, you spend alot more time fighting than re-fueling/reloading.

The WEGO system is similar to "Combat Mission"

The closes comparison I can think of to FPG would be TacOps.

Think a tactical Highway To The Reich, with more emphasis on small scale tactics/operations with all the mixings of modernized warfare eg: reach out and touch someone has a whole new meaning[;)][:D].
